On line 21 of this code where I have self.greetWelcome() . I'll love for that function to be called after the GUI is loaded. What event do I have to listen for and on what object to call it after the GUI is loaded. As of now, it works before the GUI loads up.

if __name__ == '__main__':
    app = QtGui.QApplication(sys.argv)
    window = Main()

    window.show()

    window.greetWelcome()

    sys.exit(app.exec_())

That also performed the function before the GUI was loaded
