I am trying to display console output of a python script in a QplainTextEdit widget in PyQt5.
I am getting this error:
TypeError: Error when calling the metaclass bases metaclass conflict: the metaclass of a derived class must be a (non-strict) subclass of the metaclasses of all its bases
I have defined my objects in the pyqt GUI file and I believe that I have all the imports.
I have amended the code in this question:

How can I make this work correctly?
I indeed DID do research into the topic and this is one of the main resources I used to try to solve the issue before I posted my question: How to capture output of Python's interpreter and show in a Text widget?
I have revised my code in the post to reflect code suggestions in the link I used to help me with my issue.
I am still unable to get this to run correctly. I now get this error:
self.plainTextEdit.appendPlainText(text_edit) TypeError: appendPlainText(self, str): argument 1 has unexpected type 'QPlainTextEdit'
I have a user interface, TableManagerWindow, that I've been maintaining and developing in Qt designer. After converting via pyuic to a *.py file, I was able to implement what Ferdinand Beyer had suggested in the link you provided above. Simple button to print text to terminal and it indeed does get appended to the QTextEdit widget via append(). Not sure this fits the bill for you for some reason, but I can vouch that it worked for me as well. I'm not savvy enough to get the nuance that is causing your issue, but figured I'd put this here just in case. Admins feel free to delete this if it's extraneous, but it works.
