How to insert text to QLineEdit in PyQt?

Question

I have an error when I insert data which is from QLineEdit . You can see in the button1Clicked(self) method, I can't execute :

q.exec_("insert into COMPANY (id, name, age, address, salary) values (self.IDEdit.text(),self.NameEdit.text(),self.AgeEdit.text(),self.AddressEdit.text(),self.SalaryEdit.text())")

But I can get the text when I use print(self.IDEdit.text()) .

I don't understand why. I hope someone can help me.

As the code formatting shows, you're sending strings of the widget function and not actually evaluating it. Instead you'd need to change the relevant line to something like:

q.exec_("insert into COMPANY (id, \
                              name, \
                              age, \
                              address, \
                              salary) values ( \
                              '{0}', \
                              '{1}', \
                              '{2}', \
                              '{3}', \
                              '{4}')".format(self.IDEdit.text(),
                                             self.NameEdit.text(),
                                             self.AgeEdit.text(),
                                             self.AddressEdit.text(),
                                             self.SalaryEdit.text()))

This looks slightly complicated but is just simple string formatting .
