Installing Qt for Python. (On Windows 10)

[snippsat]

I now have the following running on my pc :

(pq_env) C:\Users\GreenBus\myPython\pq_env>

Then you install and test that it work.

(pq_env) G:\div_code\pq_env
λ pip install pyside6

This will also install Qt Designer was separate install before.
Start Designer like this.

python -m venv testenv
call testenv\Scripts\activate
pip install -r requirements.txt  # General dependencies, documentation, and examples.

The third line of the above code produces this :

Error:
ERROR: Could not open requirements file: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'requirements.txt'

Hello gang!

Can Python/Ecipse/pyDev offer Visual Basic, code tips/completion, whatever in the IDE, as well as being able to access documents here on my PC, or will I have to use the web?

Why are doing this,there is no need to build from source.

All you need to do is follow what i do in post #11
Also when environment is active(pq_env) as your post show it is:

(pq_env) C:\Users\GreenBus\myPython\pq_env>

Then you do this command in folder over:

pip install pyside6

Then all of PySide6(Qt for Python) is ready for use.

Yes Pydev has tips/completion,but it's not the most popular Python Editor.
VS Code and PyCharm are the two big ones for Python.
I use VS Code have tutorial here VS Code from start.

Thanks for the timely reply. In answer to your question about building the source code, I started following the tutorial, and I thought it was necessary...so my mistake then! Also, I'm now going to try PyCharm, but not VS Code, as I don't use MS products, other than Windows.

Hi I'm now using pyCharm, and it looks great. It can't find my module pyside6. Here's the problem :

import sys
import random
from PySide6 import QtCore, QtWidgets, QtGui


class MyWidget(QtWidgets.QWidget):
    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__()

        self.hello = ["Hallo Welt", "Hei maailma", "Hola Mundo", "Привет мир"]

        self.button = QtWidgets.QPushButton("Click me!")
        self.text = QtWidgets.QLabel("Hello World",
                                     alignment=QtCore.Qt.AlignCenter)

        self.layout = QtWidgets.QVBoxLayout(self)
        self.layout.addWidget(self.text)
        self.layout.addWidget(self.button)

        self.button.clicked.connect(self.magic)

    @QtCore.Slot()
    def magic(self):
        self.text.setText(random.choice(self.hello))


if __name__ == "__main__":
    app = QtWidgets.QApplication([])

    widget = MyWidget()
    widget.resize(800, 600)
    widget.show()

    sys.exit(app.exec())

Produces the following error :

Error:
C:\Users\GreenBus\PycharmProjects\vapeomatic\venv\Scripts\python.exe C:/Users/GreenBus/PycharmProjects/vapeomatic/main.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Users\GreenBus\PycharmProjects\vapeomatic\main.py", line 3, in <module>
    from PySide6 import QtCore, QtWidgets, QtGui
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'PySide6'

Process finished with exit code 1

but not VS Code, as I don't use MS products, other than Windows.

That make no sense at all,just so know so is VS Code Open Source ("Code - OSS") and work on all OS(windows,Linux,Mac).

Hi I'm now using pyCharm, and it looks great. It can't find my module pyside6. Here's the problem :

Look at Configure a Python interpreter you are now making a new virtual environment(PyCharm dos this automatically).
Choose the virtual environment you already made,the path for to your executable will be:

C:\Users\GreenBus\myPython\pq_env\Scripts\python.exe

Setting an existing Python interpreter

Hi,

I didn't know VSCode was open source, but I decided on trying pyCharm, as per your advice. I want to start coding now, and to start I've drawn out some forms which will provide the interface.

[davediamond]

The app is a version of a balance sheet, which keeps track of withdrawals and deposits, actually of vapes for patients, as patients can't smoke or keep smokes. So, later I'll show you the form...

I've decided to use XML as the apps data source/database.

A problem I have is deciding to 'squeeze' all the info onto one line, and store it onto disk as a single element or have another element especially for the patients balance.

Please stay tuned till Monday, or later tonight, and I'll show you an image of the form. Please contain your excitement!
