Using QThreadPool with QRunnable in PyQt4

5k views Asked by At

Consider the following code snippet

class Worker(QtCore.QRunnable):
    def __init__(self):
        super(Worker, self).__init__()

    def run(self):
        print('Running Worker')

class Tasks(QtCore.QObject):
    def __init__(self):
        super(Tasks, self).__init__()
        self.pool = QtCore.QThreadPool.globalInstance()
        self.pool.setMaxThreadCount(2)

    def start(self):
        for task in range(3):
            worker = Worker()
            self.pool.start(worker)
        self.pool.waitForDone()

def main():
    prefix_path = os.environ['QGIS_PREFIX_PATH']
    QgsApplication.setPrefixPath(prefix_path, True)
    QgsApplication.initQgis()
    tasks = Tasks()
    tasks.start()

i am getting the following error

_original_runnable_init(self, *args, **kwargs)
TypeError: keyword arguments are not supported

What is wrong with Worker Object creation?

Don't know what is wrong with the QGis initialization, but the following code works as expected in my machine:

from PyQt4 import QtCore

class Worker(QtCore.QRunnable):
    def __init__(self):
        super(Worker, self).__init__()

    def run(self):
        print('Running Worker')

class Tasks(QtCore.QObject):
    def __init__(self):
        super(Tasks, self).__init__()
        self.pool = QtCore.QThreadPool.globalInstance()
        self.pool.setMaxThreadCount(2)

    def start(self):
        for task in range(3):
            worker = Worker()
            self.pool.start(worker)
        self.pool.waitForDone()

if __name__ == '__main__':
    tasks = Tasks()
    tasks.start()

It gives me the following output:

Running Worker
Running Worker
Running Worker
