    copied!<p>I'm trying to make a GUI for a small program I wrote with the help of some people from here, anyway, I made the GUI in PyQt and it looks fine. I added a button called dirButton that says "Choose Directory"</p> <pre><code>self.dirButton = QtGui.QPushButton(self.buttonWidget) self.dirButton.setGeometry(QtCore.QRect(0, 0, 91, 61)) self.dirButton.setObjectName(_fromUtf8("dirButton")) self.dirButton.clicked.connect(self.browse) </code></pre> <p>and in the bottom line there I've made it call self.browse when I click it, which is:</p> <pre><code>def browse(self): filename = QtGui.QFileDialog.getOpenFileName(self, 'Open File', '.') fname = open(filename) data = fname.read() self.textEdit.setText(data) fname.close() </code></pre> <p>However, this is the error I get:</p> <pre><code>Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:\Users\Kevin\Desktop\python-tumblr-0.1\antearaGUI.py", line 88, in browse filename = QtGui.QFileDialog.getOpenFileName(self, 'Open File', '.') TypeError: QFileDialog.getOpenFileName(QWidget parent=None, QString caption=QString(), QString directory=QString(), QString filter=QString(), QString selectedFilter=None, QFileDialog.Options options=0): argument 1 has unexpected type 'Ui_mainWindow' </code></pre> <p>So, ui_mainWindow is the class that all of my GUI buttons and the GUI itself is stored in.</p> <pre><code>class Ui_mainWindow(object): </code></pre> <p>I don't understand why I'm getting an error, does anyone have any ideas?</p> <p>Here is a pastebin link to the entire GUI: <a href="http://pastebin.com/BWCcXxUW" rel="nofollow">http://pastebin.com/BWCcXxUW</a></p>
