Project Detail

Description

I'm attempting to make a KDE (or really Gnome or whatever) GUI wrapper application for a command line command using a QT Designer interface I made, which is then compiled and just called from my otherfile.py. I want to use radio buttons to add command switches, so "click here to enable recursive", which would put -r in the command to be run, stuff like that. I have a working app, but it has a couple bugs: 1. the command line argument insertion I mentioned above doesn't exist, and 2. I'm trying to port the output back to the Qlistbox from tail -f of a the logfile generated while running the command, which isn't working. Here's what I have:

# set filename and open file
filename = '/var/log/somefile.log'
file = open(filename, 'r')
#Find file size and move to end
st_results = os.stat(filename)
st_size = st_results[6]
file.seek(st_size)
while 1:
where = file.tell()
line = file.readline()
if not line:
time.sleep(1)
file.seek(where)
else:
self.resultsbox.insertItem(file)

but I'm getting a "QListBox.insertItem() has an invalid type" error message. Someone suggested to use Qprocess, I'm not sure what would work best. There are some other super minor things, but basically my application works, except these 2 things. I will be doing more on the project later, so maybe if it works out, I can keep your information and have you help more.
