[Solved] python QT4 subprocess.call to run shell script?

I am a total noob when i comes to Python. But i wanted to give it a try as i need a GUI. I understand bash shell scripting a lot better so i want to use that in my "program" even though i know it would be better to do it all in python.

So where am i going wrong?

(attaching the complete file below)

Code:

        self.retranslateUi(dialog)

        QtCore.QObject.connect(self.pushButton, QtCore.SIGNAL(_fromUtf8("clicked()")), dialog.open)

        QtCore.QObject.connect(self.pushButton_2, QtCore.SIGNAL(_fromUtf8("clicked()")), dialog.open)

        QtCore.QObject.connect(self.pushButton_3, QtCore.SIGNAL(_fromUtf8("clicked()")), dialog.open)

        QtCore.QObject.connect(self.pushButton_4, QtCore.SIGNAL(_fromUtf8("clicked()")), dialog.close)

        QtCore.QMetaObject.connectSlotsByName(dialog)

        dialog.setTabOrder(self.pushButton, self.pushButton_3)

        dialog.setTabOrder(self.pushButton_3, self.pushButton_2)

        dialog.setTabOrder(self.pushButton_2, self.pushButton_4)



        def self(dialog):

                f = ("/home/daniel/Hämtningar/n900/awoken-extras/test.sh");

                import subprocess

                subprocess.call("/bin/sh " + f, shell=True);

                print "open(self) started"

subprocess.call(["/bin/sh", f])

Thanks, but i already figurred that one out.

Right now i am trying with this two:

Code:

        def open(dialog):

                f = ("/home/daniel/Hämtningar/n900/awoken-extras/test.sh");

                import subprocess

                subprocess.call("/bin/sh " + f, shell=True);



        def dialog(pushButton_2):

                f = ("/home/daniel/Hämtningar/n900/awoken-extras/test.sh");

                from subprocess import Popen

                Popen('/bin/sh ' + f);

I somehow can't "connect" the button click event with the subprocess. When i run it nothing happens. So i think i am doing the "def" string wrong.

When i do this i get an error.

Code:

        self.retranslateUi(dialog)

        QtCore.QObject.connect(self.pushButton, QtCore.SIGNAL(_fromUtf8("clicked()")), self.open)

        def open(self):

                f = ("/home/daniel/Hämtningar/n900/awoken-extras/test.sh");

                import subprocess

                subprocess.call(["/bin/sh " + f]);

The error:

Code:

Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "awoken.py", line 82, in <module>

    ui.setupUi(dialog)

  File "awoken.py", line 43, in setupUi

    QtCore.QObject.connect(self.pushButton, QtCore.SIGNAL(_fromUtf8("clicked()")), self.open)

Solved! I got some help from my friend Wellef and sorted it out. I will attach the file in case someone els finds it useful.

This is how it should look:

Code:

        self.retranslateUi(MainWindow)

        QtCore.QObject.connect(self.pushButton, QtCore.SIGNAL(_fromUtf8("clicked()")), self.change)

        QtCore.QObject.connect(self.pushButton_3, QtCore.SIGNAL(_fromUtf8("clicked()")), self.backup)

        QtCore.QObject.connect(self.pushButton_2, QtCore.SIGNAL(_fromUtf8("clicked()")), self.reset)

        QtCore.QObject.connect(self.pushButton_4, QtCore.SIGNAL(_fromUtf8("clicked()")), MainWindow.close)

        QtCore.QMetaObject.connectSlotsByName(MainWindow)



    def change(self):

        os.system("/home/daniel/Hämtningar/n900/awoken-extras/test.sh");



    def backup(self):

        os.system("/home/daniel/Hämtningar/n900/awoken-extras/test.sh");



    def reset(self):

        os.system("/home/daniel/Hämtningar/n900/awoken-extras/test.sh");
