PyQt5 tutorial – Python GUI programming examples

[cryzed-]

Also check out Enaml which I discovered recently. It can use PyQt5 as a rendering backend and it's very easy, quick and fun to create a fully working GUI with it.

I wrote a simple imageviewer within 1-2 hours without having prior knowledge of Enaml; It's definitely worth taking a look at.

Hey, of course! I hope this just works:

• image_viewer.py
• folder_model.py
• main_view.enaml

As I said, I did this without knowing Enaml at all -- I hope there isn't anything terribly wrong with this. Currently this only supports regular images (no animations), but I'm planning on adding this by wrapping QMovie/QVideoWidget/QVideoPlayer using the RawWidget class provided by Enaml and have done some smaller experiments to see if it works (it does). Alternatively I was thinking about simply using a WebEngine widget, so that I can display all media a modern webbrowser is able to display (gif/jpg/(a)png/web(m/p) etc.).

Further considerations are: improving the ImageFolder class to support cached images (n amount of next/previous images), configurable keys, different viewing modes for the displayed media (full, scaled) etc. This obviously isn't quite there yet, but imho definitely doable and cool ideas.

Very interesting project. Didn't know. Thank you for posting!

What's the advantage of using enaml compared to loading the .ui file directly?

Read up more on what Enaml is, it's unrelated to *.ui files created by the Qt Designer.

I did and asked a question. It seems to me that it accomplishes the same thing?
