    I believe that self is just a convention. The first parameter of a non-static class function receives the instance of the class. There's nothing stopping you from using this or anything else. There's also nothing stopping a non-member function from having a first argument called self.

    class MyClass:
        def __init__(this):
            this.value = 1
        def f(the_object):
            return the_object.value
    
    def callTheFunction(self):
        print(self.f())
    
    instance = MyClass()
    callTheFunction(instance)
    

    Expected output: 1

      Hi
      I know about the invisible white space for scope control but i do wonder what it then
      defaults too. a global function ? i guess since then the scope is not the class one.
      There is no such thing as "override" to make sure you do in fact override ?

      Well, just a function.
      I'm not sure there is something like "override" - I did not do much Python in last years :-)

        ok. That's actually much like c++ except you don't have to see, write or care about it :)
        Thank you.

        @jsulm
        ok and not a function in function, but simply just a file scope ? function.

          Python is great like that. It pushes you to do it yourself, or use tooling to solve problems. The tooling is unable to give definitive answers because so many typos result in legal code with different behavior. I'm ready to go back to C++.

            Well, i had very little experience with it. back when it was kinda new, i did fool around with it a bit and
            then mail the code to home. At home, the program suddenly didn't run as expected and i realized how deadly spaces can be and that was the end of my excitement over the language.

            But its very popular. So I guess it does works well for some people.

              The indentation is wrong for that definition of showEvent() to be part of PhotoViewer.

                Hi
                The function is too much intended so its not part of the class

                    @jsulm oh, sorry I am not notice that, but this is not a problem, it way my typo when I copy from my vscode, in my vscode is

                    class PhotoViewer(QtWidgets.QGraphicsView):
                        tool_lock = 'mouse'
                        def __init__(self, parent):
                            super(PhotoViewer, self).__init__(parent)
                            ...
                        def showEvent(self, event):
                            super().showEvent(event)
                            print("Test")
                            self.showEventHelper()
                        def showEventHelper(self):
                            self.fitInView()
                    

                    and the problem still not solve.

                      @jsulm sorry it is my mistake, the print("Test") still not be run.Even when I correct the scope of functions.

                        Hi,

                        There's an issue with your init function. The first parameter shall be a scene, the second is the parent.

                        See the class documentation

                          @SGaist I wonder if that documentation is malformatted due to Python not supporting function overloading. The highlighted line indicates two arguments for the constructor. Inset below that appears to be a second constructor version that only accepts an optional QWidget parent. The two sentences at the end initially attracted my attention.

                            Are you just commenting on the confusion, or have you changed your code? Whatever the case you will need to set the view's scene, either through the constructor or via setScene().

                              @JonB It's not my code.

                              I'm not convinced that misuse of the constructor which doesn't throw an exception or lead to program termination will cause a correctly implemented showEvent() to be ignored. A view without a scene is blank, but still a valid and showable QWidget.

                              import PyQt5.QtWidgets as QtWidgets
                              
                              class View(QtWidgets.QGraphicsView):
                                  def showEvent(self, event):
                                      print("showEvent")
                                      super().showEvent(event)
                              
                              app = QtWidgets.QApplication([])
                              view = View()
                              view.show()

                                @jeremy_k said in QGraphicsView showEvent not working.:

                                A view without a scene is blank, but still a valid and showable QWidget.

                                I was not aware of this. Your code shows showEvent being printed. Originally you said "Test never be printed out". So what is the situation?

                                    Oh, LOL, sorry about that! Well @darrenleeleelee1, what is the difference between your case where you say showEvent() is not hit and @jeremy_k's case where he shows it being hit? Or has this been solved and I am not understanding?!
