pyqt6_workflow

Welcome to the pyqt6_workflow repository! This project aims to provide a simplified workflow for quickly starting new programs using PyQt6.

Say goodbye to manually writing complex UI layouts. With QtDesigner, you can easily create layouts through drag-and-drop, with a WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) experience.

Project Workflow for Application Development

1. Use QtDesigner to drag and drop components and create UI files -> ui/*.ui
2. Run workflow.sh to automatically generate Python files -> ui/*.py, res/*.py
3. Inherit from the ui/*.py files and write corresponding window logic functions -> win/*.py
4. Complete application development

Installation

To get started, run the following command to install the required dependencies:

pip install pyqt6 pyqt6-tools pyside6

QtDesigner

QtDesigner is a powerful tool that allows you to create layouts by dragging and dropping components, eliminating the need for manual layout control code. However, it requires a few additional steps involving uic and pyside6-rcc. Don't worry, we provide the following instructions, and the workflow.sh script is already set up to automatically search for files and perform the conversion, so there's no need to manually modify the script.

1. Run the following command to make the workflow script executable:
   • On Linux: chmod +x workflow.sh
   • For Windows users, please search for the corresponding steps. An automated Windows script will be added in the future.

Pro Tip: You can open this README.md file in PyCharm and click the adjacent green button to directly run the workflow script.

chmod +x workflow.sh
./workflow.sh

Usage

• designer Use the following command to launch QtDesigner:

  pyqt6-tools designer

• pyuic6 The pyuic6 tool allows you to convert design files into Python files, making it more convenient to write code logic. If you don't have uic installed, you can run pyqt6-tools installuic to install it. Additionally, the -x flag generates a standalone executable window, and the echo -e '' > file command appends content to the end of the file (the -e flag enables recognition of \n).

  Note: The workflow.sh script is already set up to automatically search for files and perform the conversion, so there's no need to manually modify the script.

  pyuic6 -x ui/MainWindow.ui -o ui/MainWindow.py && echo -e "\nfrom res import resource_rc" >> ui/MainWindow.py

• pyside6-rcc This tool converts resource files into Python files, facilitating packaging and usage in QtDesigner. The sed command in the command replaces PySide6 with PyQt6 to ensure compatibility.

  Note: The workflow.sh script is already set up to automatically search for files and perform the conversion, so there's no need to manually modify the script.

  pyside6-rcc -g python ./res/resource.qrc | sed '0,/PySide6/s//PyQt6/' > ./res/resource_rc.py
