Python Forum

Hi,
I just installed PyQt4 on a Raspi and I'm totally new to both Python and Qt. I'm trying to do a Hello World - just an empty window should pop up. But instead it seems as if nothing happens.

Here is a screenshot:


Any idea?

Please do not post screen shots. Instead post your code, using python tags. Here are instructions.

I posted the screenshot because the left window did a restart and I have no idea what was going on...

import sys
from PyQt4 import QtGui

app = QtGui.QApplication(sys.argv)
window = QtGui.QWidget()

window.show()

Solved it. The example was for Windows, not for Linux. It needed an additional command at the end of the code:

sys.exit(app.exec_())

Youngplayer's trap, so to speak...
