[PyQt] QtNetwork newbie question

[John Stewart]

Thanks Phil,
So my first thought was to try not binding the nextPendingConnection() which looks like this:

self.connect(self.tcpServer.nextPendingConnection(), QtCore.SIGNAL("readyRead()"), self.tcpSocketReadyReadEmitted)

But then how do access the readAll() for the data thats being sent?  Doing the same bit on the tcpSocketReadyReadEmitted function throws an AttributeError.

def tcpSocketReadyReadEmitted(self):
	data = str( self.tcpServer.nextPendingConnection().readAll() )
	print data

returns

AttributeError: 'NoneType' objet has no attribute 'readAll'


Again, total beginner at this so sorry if the answer is glaring.

Cheers,
John
