Close and Open QDialog from QDialog 2

So, I have two QDialogs in 2 different classes, in one Qdialog I have a QTableWidget with some data from a MYSQL db, I want to close and re-open it when I close the second Qdialog, so this is what I tried but doesn't work:

class firstDialog(QtWidgets.QDialog):
   *all my code*
class secondDialog(QtWidgets.QDialog):
    def firstdial(self):
        self.firstdial= firstDialog()
        self.firstdial.show()
    def closeandopen(self)
        self.accept()
        firstDialog.accept()
        self.firstdial()
qtablewidget pyqt5 qdialog python

One way to achieve this would be to hide the first dialog upon launching the second dialog, and then having the second dialog emit a closing signal during it's closeEvent that can be connected to a slot in the first dialog that makes it visible again once received.

I am extending the example used in one your previous question. I included some inline notes to explain where the changes are and what they are doing.

import sys
from PyQt5.QtCore import *
from PyQt5.QtGui import *
from PyQt5.QtWidgets import *

def populate_table(table):
    for i in range(10):
        table.insertRow(table.rowCount())
        for j in range(2):
            item = QTableWidgetItem(type=0)
            item.setText(f"({i}, {j})")
            table.setItem(i,j,item)

class Dialog2(QDialog):

    tableInfoChanged = pyqtSignal([int, int, str])
    closing = pyqtSignal()

    def __init__(self,parent=None):
        super().__init__(parent=parent)
        self.layout = QVBoxLayout()
        self.setLayout(self.layout)
        self.table = QTableWidget()
        self.table.setColumnCount(2)
        self.layout.addWidget(self.table)
        populate_table(self.table)
        self.table.cellChanged.connect(self.emitChangedInfo)

    def emitChangedInfo(self, row, col):
        text = self.table.item(row, col).text()
        self.tableInfoChanged.emit(row, col, text)

    def closeEvent(self, event):  # override the close event
        self.closing.emit()       # emit closing signal
        super().closeEvent(event) # let normal close event continue


class Dialog1(QDialog):
    def __init__(self,parent=None):
        super().__init__(parent=parent)
        self.layout = QVBoxLayout()
        self.setLayout(self.layout)
        self.table = QTableWidget()
        self.table.setColumnCount(2)
        self.button = QPushButton("Push to open dialog2")
        self.layout.addWidget(self.table)
        self.layout.addWidget(self.button)
        populate_table(self.table)
        self.button.clicked.connect(self.openDialog2)

    def updateTable(self, row, col, text):
        self.table.item(row,col).setText(text)

    def openDialog2(self):
        self.dialog2 = Dialog2()
        self.dialog2.tableInfoChanged.connect(self.updateTable)
        # connect to the closing signal for second dialog
        self.dialog2.closing.connect(lambda: self.setVisible(True))  
        self.setVisible(False)  # Hide the first dialog
        self.dialog2.open()     # Launch second dialog


app = QApplication(sys.argv)
window = Dialog1()
window.show()
sys.exit(app.exec_())
