Okay, here's a reworking of the code that invokes a new QThread instance
each time. Note the QThread instance has to be bound to the MainWindow
so that it won't be destroyed when it goes out of scope. Also the
Worker thread sends a signal with the data, so there's no need to check
worker.trades and risk it being invalid data.

Perhaps this would be more what you had in mind.

You may want to look into asynchronous I/O as well. That does not
require threads at all. Fire off a request to load a url, and then get
a callback when it's done.


Now it's working like a charm without any freezes. I'll reproduce this
'Worker' for other stuffs that I need to call the web, but first I have a
question.

Which one would be better in performance, having a single 'Worker' to call
all URLs, having inside this worker functions for each stuff, or having 3~5
different workers doing different stuff. In the end I'll only print the
data when I have them all.

The problem is that I would have a long new_value = Signal(QThread, str,
str), with more then 10 values, is it possible to pass objects here
like new_value = Signal(QThread, ObjA, ObjB, ...) so that in the
'create_topic' I would get the objects and call methods in order to get all
the data?

This approach would be better, because I may be adding more stuff and I
wouldn't need to add tons and tons of new stuff in my signal, only one
object.

You don't need to redo the code, I just need to know if it's a 'good
approach' and if it's possible, from here I can work my way.
