pyqtSignals not emitted in QThread worker

Question

I have an implementation of a BackgroundTask object that looks like the following:

class BackgroundTask(QObject):
    \'\'\'
    A utility class tha         


        

Answer 1

Figured out the problem myself, I needed to call qApp.processEvents() where another point in the application was waiting for this operation to finish. I had been testing on the command-line as well and that had masked the same problem.
