Video

I'm a slow learner, so these videos are great for me, so well presented, I can watch them again and again and each time learn a little more (no pun intended)

Snakes on a plane and the point of classes in python, I know I'm listening to a cleaver man.

this video is so calming for some reason

Lol. Just bought the book last week and read all of it now found this. PERFECT.

23:01 so it should be used as a library. i have a question. can it be converted to an .EXE file easily later on?

Excellent video. I add that the UI compiler can be configured in the IDE (in my case I use PyCharm) as an "external tool", so that, after modifying and saving the .ui file with QtDesigner, it is no longer necessary to manually compile the file .ui (with just three clicks inside PyCharm, and the updated code appears).

Hey Alan, I just heard two of your videos. And think you are an excellent instructor and teacher. I am old hand at programming and have trouble with many teaching videos, that think the listener is a beginner and just don't focus on the nuisances that are are peculiar to any programming language that even experienced programmers need to know. You have the right balance for my frequency.. thank you.

What a wonderful talk. Thank you. I am a hard core R guy, but need to fire up some gui on linux and needed a quick overview of what is there. This was very educative.

Great Video! Always wondered why some people used 'as' for importing and others didn't. Thank you! Will always use it now.

Hi. If you don’t mind, since you’ve wrote a book about it, please answer this question; how do you change title bar colour? Can’t find the solution for pyqt6 and tainted. For python project. Been searching for days. Any help is appreciated.

this worked in PySide6 i love you. There is only place in the internet where signals and slots are normally explained-it is your video!

Pyside6 has made many strides. If only there was a QScintilla alternative. Unless you're doing something very basic, why use Tkinter at all?

god only knows hwo much i love you for this

i like this man, thank you so much, giant help!

Title question is such an easy answer, and I don't even need to watch the video. PyQt5 over tkinter. When converting your program to an exe, tkinter doesn't work. PyQt5 works great.

The Tk in TclTk stands for "Toolkit"

legend lecture

Gracias por la ayuda! 🤜🤛

Thank you for this wonderful tutorial... 😅 but feels like you were a java programmer before this...

I like to call these "tk-vars". I use them all the time especially for CheckBox an StatusLine code. It's interesting how they are "full-duplex" and dynamically update the widgets data with a minimum of coding.

Excellent video! Great how the wrong steps are shown. I'm buying the book.

Why does this dude sound like Norm Macdonald

They're both trash

Excellent information. Now getting into python and this was very helpful.

3:37 I'm fairly new to GUI programming and a complete amateur, but I thought I'd mention this since I haven't seen anybody else say anything about it. Anki is built with PyQt (and has the custom aqt API which is based on PyQt) and it works on mobile. I don't know if that counts? The whole reason I got into GUI programming was because I was developing an add-on for Anki.

Very helpful video. Thanks for the video.

So much knowledge... and these are just the basics... I'm 44 years old and I want to retrain, I wonder if I'm trying to retire. The problem is that 80% of these important things are missed. That's why we make loops of learning the basics for ourselves. It would be nice if this loop was for not while True.

for those trying to override code in Ui_MainWindow, u need to inherit it as well to have access to its objects.

needed this so bad

Thank you for the clarification on this!! I handed coded a PyQt5 GUI for a project at work and was just investigating using the Designer (but not wanting to really re-do my code). Having wrote the GUI by hand, I can see the value in not over complicating it with Designer...I'm served better by just understanding PyQt5 as a whole. Thank you again for the clear and concise video, and your professional advice!! 2023....still makes sense. lol

I wonder why he stopped making videos. Great channel

Very helpful thanks, If you ever fancy doing more video's about using classes, then I would be interested in classes as applied to use in Tkinter partially any tips and tricks around validation of input widgets which I found tricky per the effect that happens when there's an error. P.S. Great book!

Hello, although this is an older video you might be a person who knows the answer to my tkinter question: I have a function that minimizes my tk-inter window at a moment, then the user selects something, and after that the tkinter-window is maximized again. However if the user takes too much time selecting (=if the tkinter window is minimized for too long) you get a bug that shows the maximized tkinter window in all black, not displaying any widgets. I was not able to find a solution on stack overflow or gpt. Do you encountered this issue so far?

Well nowadays we have customtkinter and ttkbootstrap in tkinter, so a fair comparation with include those

How can i purchase your book from Pakistan, Sir , Please guide .

You are a very good teacher 🔥 Respect from Pakistan !

Thanks for these videos. I watched them all. They really eased my learning of PyQt which is 90% of my work these days.

Thank you!

16:00 I'm not an expert nor old enough to understand these concepts, but say you use only 3 classes from a library in an app out of 20 or 1000 as you said. Rhe compilation time/code size won't increase, but the attached library would. In tkinter it won't matter as it's embedded in Python, but for pyQt and the rest, can you extract only the needed codes from a library, assuming they're not accessed or checked for in the code or compiled part/whatever? In other words, I know tkinter but not pyQt, when I make a GUI app, using only frame, button and text field, can I ship only those classes, and whatever they require, from the pyQt library? Is that considered an adaptation of the library, hence copy right issues? Is it at technically possible (as in a company making an app as small as possible after licencing it from pyQt owners? I'm making a GUI app and developing it continuously, so I'm not sure if the style points is worth it compared to tkinter.

Thanks God I found this video, I am reading chapter three of your book but I am struggling with control variables, it's just not clicking for me

Hello Alan, I've got your book. Very helpful. But stylesheets are not going well for me. The problem is that they are hard to debug. If you mess up the syntax on a command, there is no Python error. Qt just refuses to render that command and the Python routine moves on to the next object. What techniques do you use to debug QT stylesheets? Is there a "verbose" or "logging" mode that I can turn on to see where things go sideways? This might be a nice topic for a video.

"So there's a few ways we can do that". Love that approach! This series is such a gem.

They should have named it QtPy. Missed opportunity 😕

A wonderful video. Amazing difference when learning from a Guru. Thank you very much.

Hey Thank you!

Thanks for the video, definitely agree on the frustration with tkinter. You can't even color a single cell in a ttk.TreeView or edit something in a cell, those things are included automatically in Qt tables. But the missing scrolling behaviour on expanding frames is probably the worst thing I encountered.

Nice one

PySide doesn't need a commercial license. I'd say go for PySide ALWAYS with qt designer. Much easier than tkinter (unless you use custom tkinter or something).
