[PyQt] Qt WebChannel JavaScript API

[Robert Kent]

Hi,

I actually looked at the ‘standalone’ example a little while ago and created a PyQt5 version (attached ’standalone.tar'), however, there seems to be a bug with the QWebChannelAbstractTransport.messageReceived signal and its arguments in that the specification says it expects a dictionary, but that raises a TypeError as follows:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "standalone.py", line 35, in textMessageReceived
    self.messageReceived.emit(message.object(), self)
TypeError: QWebChannelAbstractTransport.messageReceived[dict-of-str-QJsonValue, QWebChannelAbstractTransport].emit(): argument 1 has unexpected type ‘dict'

This is using Qt5.4/PyQt5.4 however so it may have been fixed by now, if not maybe Phil could have a look?

Anyways, hopefully the attached example may help with anyone wanting to use this module. Beware that the version of qwebchannel.js included only works with <=Qt5.4, you will need to get the newer version if you are using Qt5.5.

Hope this helps, 

Rob
