QPushButton State (in PyQt) ?

[jkrienert]

A push button is checkable (setCheckable(True)), and when it is checked - a method is called to establish a [bool=True] value. If I manually uncheck (2nd click) the button, [bool=False] <<=ideally.

Unfortunately, the second check merely reinstates the [bool=True] value. Is there any means of checking the state of a button, ergo; if-down = return True, if-up = return False?

Relevant code:

...
self.pushButtonSetBase.setCheckable(True)
self.pushButtonSetBase.toggled.connect(self.on_pushButtonSetBase_toggled)
 
...
 
@QtCore.pyqtSlot()
def on_pushButtonSetBase_toggled(self):
    if self.pushButtonSetBase.isChecked:
        print 'update the base!'
        self.rowOverride = True
    elif not self.pushButtonSetBase.isChecked:
        print 'no base updates allowed!'
        self.rowOverride = False
...

...
self.pushButtonSetBase.setCheckable(True)
self.pushButtonSetBase.toggled.connect(self.on_pushButtonSetBase_toggled)

...

@QtCore.pyqtSlot()
def on_pushButtonSetBase_toggled(self):
    if self.pushButtonSetBase.isChecked:
        print 'update the base!'
        self.rowOverride = True
    elif not self.pushButtonSetBase.isChecked:
        print 'no base updates allowed!'
        self.rowOverride = False
...

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

Probably a simple solution - but seems to be a struggle @ current.
Thousand thanks.

UPDATE:
This pyQt business is tricky... and fun.
Here is the working solution for anyone interested in the future.

...
self.pushButtonSetBase.setCheckable(True)
self.pushButtonSetBase.toggled.connect(self.on_pushButtonSetBase_toggled)
...
@QtCore.pyqtSlot(bool)  #<<== the missing link
def on_pushButtonSetBase_toggled(self,checked):
    if checked:
        print 'update the base!'
        self.rowOverride = True
    elif not checked:
        print 'no base updates allowed!'
        self.rowOverride = False
...

...
self.pushButtonSetBase.setCheckable(True)
self.pushButtonSetBase.toggled.connect(self.on_pushButtonSetBase_toggled)
...
@QtCore.pyqtSlot(bool)  #<<== the missing link
def on_pushButtonSetBase_toggled(self,checked):
    if checked:
        print 'update the base!'
        self.rowOverride = True
    elif not checked:
        print 'no base updates allowed!'
        self.rowOverride = False

You can just use an else on the second branch, the boolean value can only be true or false.

What about the super-position?
