[PyQt] Profiling with QThreads

[Eric Frederich]

Hello,

I have a client application that does a long running data traversal
making a lot of server calls.
I put this operation in a QThread so that the GUI would stay responsive.
I am now using a profiler on this application trying to see which
calls to the server are taking most of the time.
The problem here is that because its on a different thread the
profiler doesn't pick up any of the calls.

To get around this, on the QThread subclass I defined a method
start_single like so...

    def start_single(self):
        self.emit(SIGNAL('started()'))
        self.run()
        self.emit(SIGNAL('finished()'))
        self.emit(SIGNAL('terminated()'))

So when I replace the call to start with a call to start_single, I get
the stuff I want in the profile.

Is there a better way to accomplish the same thing?
Am I missing something?
