I am trying to grab a url from the web, but no matter what I do, it also prints the entire module for the QUrl:
import sys
from PyQt5.QtCore import QUrl
from PyQt5.QtWidgets import QApplication
from PyQt5.QtWebEngineWidgets import QWebEngineView
app = QApplication(sys.argv)
url = 'http://stackoverflow.com'
wv = QWebEngineView()
wv.load(QUrl(url))
print str(QUrl(url))
wv.show()
app.exec_()
which gives me :
PyQt5.QtCore.QUrl(u'http://stackoverflow.com')
I am only interested grabbing the unicode string, without the module name:
u'http://stackoverflow.com'
I know I can just print the url, but this is just for reproducing the problem in a bigger app.
The QUrl class has a dedicated toString method for this:
>>> u = QtCore.QUrl(u'http://stackoverflow.com')
>>> u.toString()
u'http://stackoverflow.com'
You can also pass in an argument with Formatting Options, which will modify how the url is displayed (e.g. by removing the query or stripping trailing slashes).
