Getting ListWidget Item Text and Image in PyQt

Question

I have a QListwidget . I add a custom item that displaying images . What I want to do is when clicking an item in this widget , print selected labels text and get label's image. But it prints nothing and gives error: AttributeError: 'QListWidgetItem' object has no attribute 'pixmap'. So what is the problem ?

class MyList(QtGui.QListWidget):
    def __init__(self):
        QtGui.QListWidget.__init__(self)
        directory = QtGui.QFileDialog.getOpenFileNames(self, 'Open file',
                                                       'c:\\Users\\Public\\Pictures\\Sample Pictures',"Image files (*.jpg *.gif)")
        for i in range(len(directory)):
            images = QtGui.QImage(directory[i])
            pixmap = QtGui.QPixmap.fromImage(images)
            label = QtGui.QLabel(str(i))
            label.setPixmap(pixmap.scaled(QtCore.QSize(150,100)))
            item = QtGui.QListWidgetItem(label.text())
            item.setSizeHint(QtCore.QSize(200,110))
            self.addItem(item)
            self.setItemWidget(item,label)
        self.setIconSize(QtCore.QSize(150,100))
        self.setSelectionMode(1)            # 1 = SingleSelection, 2 = MultiSelection, not necessary, default mode is singleSelection
        self.setGeometry(200,200,300,500)

        self.currentItemChanged.connect(self.findSel)

    def findSel(self, current, previous):
        print(current.text())
        self.labelBigImageDisplay(current.pixmap())

Answer 1

Since QLabel don't support text and image same time you may need to consider implementing your own widget or you may need to use something like QPushButton etc .. And answer for your original question you need to ask for the itemWidget to get the data.

def findSel(self, current):
    currentItem = self.itemWidget(current)
    pixmap = currentItem.pixmap()
    print pixmap

Implementing custom widget

This is minimal example from your code

mport sys
from PyQt4 import QtCore, QtGui

class MyCustomWid(QtGui.QWidget):
    def __init__(self, label, imagePath, parent=None):
        super(MyCustomWid, self).__init__(parent)
        horizontalLayout = QtGui.QHBoxLayout()
        self.imagePath = imagePath
        self.captLbl = label
        self.captLbl = QtGui.QLabel(self.captLbl)
        horizontalLayout.addWidget(self.captLbl)
        self.imageLbl = QtGui.QLabel()
        pixmap = QtGui.QPixmap.fromImage(QtGui.QImage(self.imagePath))
        self.imageLbl.setPixmap(pixmap.scaled(QtCore.QSize(150,100)))
        horizontalLayout.addWidget(self.imageLbl)
        self.setLayout(horizontalLayout)

    def getPixmap(self):
        return self.imageLbl.pixmap()

    def getImagePath(self):
        return self.imagePath

    def getText(self):
        return self.captLbl.text()

class MyList(QtGui.QListWidget):
    def __init__(self):
        QtGui.QListWidget.__init__(self)
        imagePath = "/usr/bla/some/foo.png"
        label = MyCustomWid("Blaa", imagePath)
        item = QtGui.QListWidgetItem()
        item.setSizeHint(QtCore.QSize(200,110))
        self.addItem(item)
        self.setItemWidget(item,label)
        self.setIconSize(QtCore.QSize(150,100))
        self.setSelectionMode(1)            # 1 = SingleSelection, 2 = MultiSelection, not necessary, default mode is singleSelection
        self.setGeometry(200,200,300,500)
        self.itemClicked.connect(self.findSel)

    def findSel(self, current):
        currentItem = self.itemWidget(current)
        pixmap = currentItem.getPixmap()
        imagePath = currentItem.getImagePath()
        lblTxt = currentItem.getText()
        print pixmap, imagePath, lblTxt
        # self.labelBigImageDisplay(current.pixmap())

class MyWindow(QtGui.QDialog):
    def __init__(self):
        super(MyWindow, self).__init__()
        layout = QtGui.QVBoxLayout()
        textLbl = MyList()
        layout.addWidget(textLbl)
        self.setLayout(layout)

if __name__ == '__main__':
    app=QtGui.QApplication(sys.argv)
    new=MyWindow()
    new.show()
    app.exec_()
