I am using another code to call this code and implement it using custom slots. Here it is: I am trying to print the text from the textbox and lineedit to the output. In the textBox we have the details that is entered by the user and lineedit will contain the filename. All I need to do is print the user detail and filename on screen. I get the following error:
Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:\cygwin64\home\Actual_test_gui.py", line 29, in generate_report data_line = self.lineEdit.displayText() AttributeError: 'AppGui' object has no attribute 'lineEdit'

self.ui.setupUi(self)
self.ui.pushButton.clicked.connect(self.generate_report)
def generate_report(self):
data_text = self.textEdit.text().ascii()
data_line = self.lineEdit.displayText()
print data_line
print data_text

I think you forgot .ui in the following lines in method generate_report.
Besides, you can't call textEdit.text(), I'm afraid.
Here a replacement proposal:
data_text = self.ui.textEdit.toPlainText()
data_line = self.ui.lineEdit.displayText()
