title: pyqt timer does not return a value or an error
body: <p>I am trying to use a timer with pyqt.  The code is below, but it does not print anything and I do not get an error.   Does anyone know what is wrong?<br>
  Thanks</p>
  
  <pre><code>import functools
  from PyQt4.QtCore import QTimer
  
  def onTimer(initParams):
      print initParams
      print "HERE"
      # your code here...
  def update():
      print "Upd"
  myInitParams = "Init!"
  timerCallback = functools.partial(onTimer, myInitParams)
  myTimer = QTimer()
  myTimer.timeout.connect(timerCallback)
  myTimer.start(1000) #once a sec
  
  t = QTimer()
  
  t.start(500)
  t.timeout.connect(update)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>EDIT UPDATE:</p>
  
  <p>So this is a snip of the full code im using, which is a bit more complicated and maybe is a different problem, but the result is the same.</p>
  
  <p>The structure is like this: </p>
  
  <pre><code>from PyQt4 import QtCore, QtGui
  # Import the UI Classes from the ui directory in this package
  from ui.MoAnGUI import Ui_MoAnWindow
  
  class MoAnWin(QtGui.QDialog, Ui_MoAnWindow):
      def __init__(self, parent=None):
          super(MoAnWin, self).__init__(parent=parent)
  
          self.setupUi(self)
          self.playMarkers.clicked.connect(self._PlayMarkers)
          self.connect(self,QtCore.SIGNAL("PlayMarker"),PlayMarkerCall)
          #Marker Stop
          self.stopMarkers.clicked.connect(self._StopMarkers)
          self.connect(self,QtCore.SIGNAL("StopMarker"),StopMarkerCall)
  
      def _StopMarkers(self):
          arg = "Stop"
          self.emit(QtCore.SIGNAL("StopMarker"),arg)
      def _PlayMarkers(self):
          fps = self.fpsBox.value()
          starttime = self.fromTime.value()
          endtime = self.ToTime.value()
          arg = [fps,starttime,endtime]
          self.emit(QtCore.SIGNAL("PlayMarker"),arg)
  
  def StopMarkerCall(arg):
      #I want to stop the timer here
  
  def PlayMarkerCall(arg):
  
      #I tried this, but again, nothing happens, no error
      myInitParams = "Init!"
      timerCallback = functools.partial(TimerCall, myInitParams)
      myTimer = QtCore.QTimer()
      myTimer.timeout.connect(timerCallback)
      myTimer.start(1000) #once a sec
  
      #I Imagine something like this:
      myTimer = QtCore.QTimer()
      for i in range(start,end):
           # I want to connect to my view marker function but i need to pass a variable
           myTimer.timeout.connect(ViewMarkerCall(i))
           myTimer.start(1000)
  def TimerCall(args):
      print "HERE", args
  
  def show():
      global globalMoAnWindow
      app = QtGui.QApplication(sys.argv)
      globalMoAnWindow = MoAnWin()
      globalMoAnWindow.show()
      sys.exit(app.exec_())
      return globalMoAnWindow
  
  show()
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>My goal is to have a button click play, and stuff happens in a qtgraphic widget at a certain time interval, then the stop button stops the playing.  I found the functools from another question on here, but im not sure if its the correct thing to do.</p>
