slots? SLOTS?

Dear pythonista,

what is a "slot" in python? I stumbled over
it in several meta-reflection discussions and
hard-core developer talk, but found no
mention of it in the language reference.

Google coughs up more interesting banter
about it, but no specifics. Is it a feature
that was once planned (for 2.2 or so) and
later abandoned? I find no *new* talk about
it.

Thanks for your attention

Dear group :) I don't quite understand the meaning of this paragraph in the qt docu (http://doc.trolltech.com/3.1/threads.html): ***SNIP The Signals and Slots mechanism can be used in separate threads, as long as the rules for QObject based classes are followed. The Signals and Slots mechanism is synchronous: when a signal is emitted, all slots are called immediately. The slots are executed in the thread

Hi. I got a problem with Signals and Slots of QT. The program i am speaking of u can find here: http://www.uni-koblenz.de/~brchrist/address/ If u look at gui.cpp u find a connect command at line 27. I would read this command like this: "If pushButtonAddPerson got clicked call the function addPerson() of this GUI-Object" So this connect should call the function starting on line 50. But if i start

I don't know if any such support is already built in, so I ended up making my own simple signals/slots like mechanism. If anyone is interested then here it is, along with a simple test. It can connect to normal functions as well as instance methods. It also supports weak connections where when an object is gone, the slot is gone as well, the slot just holds a weak reference to the object. Brian Vanderburg II

The approach in this thread looks wrong to me considering your example. Your example shows you have random time periods between 6AM and 6 PM for appointments. Appointment 1 is 1-1/2 hour, Appointment 2 is 3 hours and Appointment 3 is 1 hour. It is only by coincidence (or common practice) that the appointment start and end times fall on what looks like the quarter hour. Actually your example shows appointment start and end times fall on...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
