use QTimer
for example, this calls your gettime function every 1000milliseconds(1s)
...
def init_ui(self):
self.textfield = QtWidgets.QLabel("")
timer = QtCore.QTimer(self)
timer.timeout.connect(self.gettime)
timer.start(1000)
This is my first question here.I have looked into some similar questions but it didn't really help me with my own code(or i failed to apply the possible solution to my code ,im not sure).
I have this code that shows the time in a window when i run it but it doesn't update and if i want to see the current time i have to run it again.I have tried to include while loop somewhere but i couldn't.Normally when im fetching data from websites using beautiful soup or selenium , i am able to put them in a while loop and keep them running without any problem but i couldn't make it happen in this pyqt5 window.What can i do ?
import sys
import time
from PyQt5 import QtWidgets,QtCore
import requests
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
class Window(QtWidgets.QWidget):
def __init__(self):
super().__init__()
self.init_ui()
def init_ui(self):
self.textfield = QtWidgets.QLabel("")
sonuc = self.gettime()
v_box = QtWidgets.QVBoxLayout()
v_box.addWidget(self.textfield)
v_box.addStretch()
h_box = QtWidgets.QHBoxLayout()
h_box.addStretch()
h_box.addLayout(v_box)
h_box.addStretch()
self.setLayout(h_box)
self.setWindowTitle("Time")
self.show()
def gettime(self):
url = "https://onlinesaat.web.tr/saat-kac/"
a = requests.get(url)
b = a.content
soup = BeautifulSoup(b,"html.parser")
for i in soup.find_all("span",{"id":"lbl-time"}):
self.textfield.setText(i.text)
app = QtWidgets.QApplication(sys.argv)
window = Window()
sys.exit(app.exec_())

Thanks a lot , it worked ! But the window gets laggy every second , anything we can do about it ? Not a big deal tho.
because you are getting the time from an API and it takes some time to get the result. Use python built-in function to retrieve current time instead. programiz.com/python-programming/datetime/current-time
