I’m trying make my first python app. I want make simple email sender form.
In qt designer create a dialog.ui, then generate dialog.py from dialog.ui
and write there function

def SendEmail(self,efrom,eto,esubj,ebody):
    msg = MIMEText( ebody.encode('UTF-8'),'html', 'UTF-8')
    msg['Subject'] = esubj
    msg['From'] = efrom
    msg['To'] = eto
    s = smtplib.SMTP()
    s.connect("mail.driversoft.net", 25)
    s.login("info@mysite.net", "1234567")
    s.sendmail(efrom, [eto], msg.as_string())
    s.quit()

and try connect to the slot

QtCore.QObject.connect(self.pushButton, QtCore.SIGNAL("clicked()"), self.SendEmail("info@mysite.net", "test@mysite.net", "subject", "bodytext"))

when I try start this app, I don’t see a form, on my email revive message, and in console

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\Documents and Settings\a.ivanov\My Documents\Aptana Studio Workspace\test1\src\wxtest.py", line 61, in <module>
ui.setupUi(Dialog)
File "C:\Documents and Settings\a.ivanov\My Documents\Aptana Studio Workspace\test1\src\wxtest.py", line 33, in setupUi
QtCore.QObject.connect(self.pushButton, QtCore.SIGNAL("clicked()"), self.SendEmail("info@mysqite.net", "test@mysite.net", "subject", "bodytext"))
TypeError: arguments did not match any overloaded call:
QObject.connect(QObject, SIGNAL(), QObject, SLOT(), Qt.ConnectionType=Qt.AutoConnection): argument 3 has unexpected type 'NoneType'
QObject.connect(QObject, SIGNAL(), callable, Qt.ConnectionType=Qt.AutoConnection): argument 3 has unexpected type 'NoneType'
QObject.connect(QObject, SIGNAL(), SLOT(), Qt.ConnectionType=Qt.AutoConnection): argument 2 has unexpected type 'bytes'

How can I do a form i wich I wrote subject and text then press Send button and get message by email?
Thanks!

    QtCore.QObject.connect(self.pushButton, QtCore.SIGNAL("clicked()"), self.SendEmail("info@mysite.net", "test@mysite.net", "subject", "bodytext"))
    

    It is not how SIGNAL-SLOT system works. Your signal “clicked()” have no params — so Your slot must have no params too. And You must pass reference to callback, not call that function in connect.

    QtCore.QObject.connect(self.pushButton, QtCore.SIGNAL("clicked()"), self.pushButtonClicked)
    
    def pushButtonClicked(self):
        self.SendEmail("info@mysite.net", "test@mysite.net", "subject", "bodytext")
