Receiving Pyqtsignal From Singleton

There's singleton class in python: from PyQt5.QtCore import QObject, pyqtSignal import logging class Singleton(QObject): _instance = None def __new__(cls, *args, **kwargs

Solution 1:

Although your Singleton class complies that the same object is always returned but that does not imply that it is correctly implemented, in your case in new the new object is created but you return the first object created (fulfilling what you apparently want) but the signal "dataChanged "belongs to the new object and not to the first object causing the problem. The solution in this case is to use metaclasses as this library points out:

class Singleton(type(QObject), type):
    def __init__(cls, name, bases, dict):
        super().__init__(name, bases, dict)
        cls._instance = None

    def __call__(cls, *args, **kwargs):
        if cls._instance is None:
            cls._instance = super().__call__(*args, **kwargs)
        return cls._instance


class DataStatus(QObject, metaclass=Singleton):
    dataChanged = pyqtSignal(str)
    __val = "init"

    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__()

    def setVal(self, val):
        self.dataChanged.emit("emit: " + val)
        logging.debug("emit: " + val)
        self.__val = val

    def getVal(self):
        return self.__val
