I was just looking at the documentation for PYQT5 when I came across your video tutorials! And I can confidently say you are one of the BEST instructors I've seen on YT for python and GUI's. Keep up the good work, and greetings from Canada!

[@Codemycom]

Wow thanks, I appreciate that!

[@Lucasbc]

Thank god you are making videos about PyQT5 I was using just right now! Your videos are awesome thx!

[@Codemycom]

Glad you like them!

[@isuruhettiarachchi4197]

Your code is clear and very easy to understand

[@Codemycom]

Thanks!

[@freewilly1056]

I think it would be fair to put a remark, that it's not the best way to code anything more complex than such a dummy calculator, to let people know about patterns like MVC or MVVM which let decouple the GUI part (view) from the logic (model), so that if you want to remove a button or even implement simplified UI for the mobile device version, you don't need to reconstruct the logic down there (and vice versa). And also would be good to mention layouts rather than manually aligning pixels (imagine you decide to resize the main window by 10% just after you've precisely set positions to all the buttons). It's nice intro to how QT designer works, but otherwise this is the way GUI apps were written 20+ years ago ;)

[@kevinkurani93]

How can I learn about MVC and MVVM?

[@andrefbillette2774]

Great series! Keep up the good work and greetings from Montreal!

[@Codemycom]

Thanks!

[@sariii100]

thank you so much! you've helped me with my college homework:D

[@Codemycom]

Happy to hear it!

[@XChat1]

very nice and simple explanation THANKS TEACHER :D

[@Codemycom]

Welcome!

[@HugoCervantes-HARO]

Great tutorial! Thanks John.

[@Codemycom]

Very Welcome

[@asiffazal8571]

Just one comment is that you could double click the text to edit it on the pushButton. Thanks for the amazing tutorial videos.

[@deaddrunkgamer7399]

on the if "0" shouldnt that be in the if statement to prevent unneccesary nesting? as if "0" the output label == pressed? So im curious if you're doing it because of visibility or not as its more or less same amount of code.

[@krish3357]

Thank you for this tutorial. I am now using the designer to build better GUIs. Tkinter was a bit frustrating for me.

[@Codemycom]

Glad it helped!

[@omegothic]

thank you very much!

Great Sir. Thank you

Welcome!

[@luxmanmadapatha7976]

Hi, many thanks for the excellent hands-on tutorial! Btw is there a code snippet of keeping the QPT5 Window always infocus or bring it back infocus automatically in the Windows OS? [I'm making an app with PyQT5 and need this feature]

[@learnwithnawf246]

Videos are so early nowadays...👏👏

[@Codemycom]

yep

[@Radian327]

Why did you modify ANY code in the Calc.py file? Any subsequent changes in the .UI file in designer will blow away all your code changes? I "thought" the process was to create your form in designer. Use the .UI file to create the .py file of class data. Then import that into say your "main.py" file where you then create a class and then all your "custom" code goes into your main? Or... Is there a way using the Designer, to use its "Signal/Slot Editor" or "Action Editor" to establish your button click code so if you come back into he designer later to update the form say to add a forgotten button, you can then regen the .py file from the .ui file without losing all anything?

[@Codemycom]

Because this is an ongoing series that teaches new things.... lol chill out and keep watching...

[@hiwab4140]

Thx for the video!

[@radiar8484]

Hi I have a problem with QCalendarWidget I am creating a To-Do List with Persian Calendar(Jalali) but I can't change Change The Calendar to Jalali I Change the language and country but I can't figure out how to change the calendar itself!!

[@Eddyyc]

Great videos, question, how do you manage changes? if you later added a new feature to your calculator but also altered the .py file a lot already, is there a way to properly managed this changes?

[@Codemycom]

Yeah I'll need to do a video on this one of these days

[@hangphamthi7382]

Thank you so muchhhhh

Welcome

[@patrickscheich7532]

Can you make a video how to print documents/pdfs with PyQt's QPrinter? Would be very cool and very useful. Thanks a lot before!

[@Codemycom]

Might look into that :-)

[@behdadmoradi]

Hello John, thanks for the tutorial videos, I have a problem here when I run my code the vs code gives me this error: " Ui_MainWindow.press_it() missing 1 required positional argument: 'pressed' "

[@Codemycom]

You forgot to pass an argument to the function in the button code. 13:09

[@behdadmoradi]

@@Codemycom Yeah :), I should have passed each button names to the function so I solved it quickly. Sample Code for fiveButton: clicked = lambda : self.press_it(pressed ="5")

It works nicely!

[@briangreenberg153]

I really love the content of your video presentations. However, when I look at the designer tool on this video, it appears a bit out of focus. I'm viewing on a Mac with excellent retina display resolution.

[@Codemycom]

Click the gear in the bottom corner of the video, change the Quality resolution to the highest available (HD). Your resolution likely got knocked out of wack somehow.

[@briangreenberg153]

@@Codemycom Thank you! Worked like a charm! Cold day here in Vegas! Good day for coding!

@@briangreenberg153 Yeah it rained here off and on all day near Lone Mountain. No sorry, my current production schedule is pretty set..

[@yassine_zai5032]

why when I change the ui file to py and I open it in vscode it open with html code no python

[@Codemycom]

no clue, I wouldn't use vscode.

[@kevinjc6501]

Need help when i run my python file it just opens and closes immediately any fix

[@Codemycom]

What did you do differently from the video?

[@Python12321]

can we do it with normal pyqt5(with no pyqt designer)

[@Codemycom]

Sure, if you want. But I wouldn't.

[@codeKeshav]

Can't we have Designer for tkinter

:-p
