PYQT5 with Python

Question

I'm trying to build a Python GUI app that adds information to a list with pyqt5 but I'm getting errors.the application should be able to display items that are entered into the lineedit inside the listwidget.

Below is the code:

from PyQt5 import QtWidgets, uic

app = QtWidgets.QApplication([])
form2 = uic.loadUi("login2.ui")

def add_item():
    if not form2.LineEdit_item.text() == "":
        form2.ListWidget.addItem(form2.LineEdit_item.text())
        form2.LineEdit_item.setText("")

form2.PushButton_addItem.clicked.connect(add_item)
form2.show()
app.exec()

and below is the error I'm getting:

Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "C:/Users/Windows 10/PycharmProjects/mygui2.py", line 11, in <module>
    form2.PushButton_addItem.clicked.connect(add_item)
AttributeError: 'QMainWindow' object has no attribute 'PushButton_addItem'

Process finished with exit code 1

How do i get this sorted out.

Answer 1

Everything should work if you specify the name correctly for the objectName of theQPushButton widget.
