I know I'm a little late to the party here, but I just wanted to let you know that you're doing God's work with these tutorials. You keep them short and simple, no mumbling or rambling, and one can easily understand what's going on. Super impressive :)

[@davidgrove1600]

YOU ROCK! Keep going with PyQt! May offer a suggestion? Plan your UI, name every object that you want to access using code as you go along. It should be the first thing you do. However, you do not need to name items that you will not be accessing codes (ex.: labels). Maybe a suggestion for a short video?

[@ruslan.zhumabai]

You have opened my dream which I have thought for creating the App a long time ago. I just wanted to make a software which is able to connect with an Arduino board. Thank you it is so understandable. I will watch all your videos in the quarantine time. Sorry for my English if it is incorrect. I am from Kazakhstan.

[@vxsniffer]

another way to pass arguments to assigned functions (without calling them instantly) is partial function (from functools import partial) example assignment would look like: self.actionNew.triggered.connect(partial(self.clicked, ‘New was clicked’)) for this purpose both methods work the same, but some advanced cases may favour partial function... it's not redundant to lambda ;-)

[@CarlosGarcia-di3kn]

I am new to python and QT designer, your video is great help. Thanks Man

[@rfresh1011]

To clarify, once you generate the .py code and you start to make manual edits to it, you cannot go back and use the QTDesigner again and re-generate the .py file because it will wipe out all of your manual changes...correct?

[@brunonkowalski]

Yes, that's why you should never edit this file.

[@kristypolymath1359]

I have to say that you are very well spoken, and mild-mannered. Please keep the videos coming!

[@TechWithTim]

Appreciate that!

[@jimbaker3035]

Thanks for the tutorial. It helped A LOT. Some other QT tutorials on YT are over 5 years old and cause newbs like me major confusion. This series is very helpful.

[@ashish2099]

God bless you brother. I love your tutorials so far. To think you're giving us such an amazing information for free at the expense of your own time, man you're simply amazing. Thank you brother, I'll be forever grateful

[@dankusanovic]

Excellent tutorial and great explanation of the lambda function

[@igorzukowicz3823]

good job Tim!! everything is clear. Thank you

[@bu1491]

Having dyslexia and being completely new but obsessed with all of this is overwhelming. That and being the African American athlete all my life has me completely lost with programming. You give me hope bro and the comments, but I am lost, guys. Not too many look like me and I'm far behind. But since I can't create anything yet, I write my ideas and create the prototypes on Canva because I also can't design(learning figma now). I wish there be a platform where "idea guy", "developer", "investor", "salesperson" connect as one. I'll share my ideas via email with anyone just to know if they are possible. I think they can change a lot of things in the world.

[@zjason7582]

Good job! Really helpful for beginners!

[@alexisrdevitre]

Awesome tutorials on qt. I was struggling to understand from other people on youtube and on web and I like your approach of going from basic and building up bit by bit. Keep them coming.

[@vng]

Thank you... I finally understand lamba functions.

[@thetrinitysolution9631]

Tim, your tutorial worked flawlessly on my dad's PC. But when I try to create the ".py" file using the Mac terminal, it says "Command not found." This is most likely because the path is wrong, and the ">" symbol is probably the issue. I've tried a number of substitutions without success. Would you know what the correct syntax is for the Mac or where I could go for that info? Thanks!

[@a.sam.2714]

Very nice tutorial, thank you. But in the code you do not import created gui file from QT, but rather create everything programmatically.

Hello Tim. Thanks for your nice video but I have an issues that all the Menubar do not show up. I check by preview in QtDesigner and also by running the python code. could you please help me if you see this comment

[@soeasysale]

thx,tim,very helpful

[@briangreenberg153]

Tim, I'm just now looking at this video from 2019. So I don't know if you are monitoring for questions and comments. When I create menu items, they do not show up on the mainwindow as shown in your example. Instead, they show up at the top of the "Python" program that is running the code. Not sure how to explain it more clearly without providing you with a screenshot. The only thing that comes to mind as a possible cause is I am doing all this on a Mac using the very latest OS which is Big Sur. I know you do your work on a Windows PC. I wonder if you have seen this issue before and if you know what I need to do to make the code run properly. Thanks

[@TheAmazingpower]

So happy to see some qt tutorials. Most of them are not that accurate or detailed. But why editing the generated ui. py file? If I will go to the creator again, and make changes there, convert it into a .py the changes made in the previous .py are gone. I usually define a class inheriting the Ui class and define all new properties there so I can change and reconvert the ui-file freely. Is there any reason not to do that?

[@mohammadkarami8984]

Great Video! Thanks a lot

[@billelguechi5831]

Hi, what if you wanted to attach to the events outside of the class? How would we do that? How do we raise events from outside of a class? I come from a .Net background. Very similar stuff i think.

Hello! I want to ask something. We have a "TextLabel" text in main window and when the programme ran, only half of the text was visible. So i wrote " def update(self): self.label.adjustSize()" after " font = QtGui.QFont() font.setPointSize(36) self.label.setFont(font) self.label.setObjectName("label")" to fix this problem, but it didn't work. What should i do to fix it?

[@diagotorres4094]

Thanks for the tutorial. My problem with this approach is that many of the pillars of what define good development are not followed here. Code readability, proper code abstraction, and code revision are non existent. By which I mean, the code generated is messy, the code generated is not defined in separate functions or classes, and any new update to the GUI would require a weird work around. Do you have any recommendations to my concerns. Thank you. Awesome tutorials.

[@abhinavraj1885]

The standard way to use is to import the GUI code in another python file and write the functional part there. That way when you change the GUI and regenerate code you don't lose the functionality of the app.

can we just create the trigger in designer instead of coding?

[@bitterbob30]

This is a little bit easier than hand coding a GUI via Tkinter. Just a little bit. :-)

[@xyaman425]

Thanks!

[@plouf1969]

How do you deal with the case where you go back to QTDesigner to make further changes, and pyuic5 overwriting your tutorial4.py that you modified manually? I think you probably want the manual changes made into a separate file with a class that derives from UIMainwindow, and to which you can make manual changes without worrying about UIMainwindow being erased?

[@MiskoKatua]

You can separate the UI file from the Python file by importing the uic module and then load your .ui file with uic.loadUi('') In the window variable you can then address the different UI Components like e.g. window.button1.clicked.connect() import sys from PyQt5 import QtWidgets, uic app = QtWidgets.QApplication(sys.argv) window = uic.loadUi('test.ui') window.show() app.exec()

Why do you need the Lambda keyword? Wouldn't calling --> self.actionNew.triggered.connect( self.clicked( 'foo'))

I thought it would be a PyQT 5 tutorial as it says on the title but it was more of a Qt Designer Tutorial with pyqt as a back end. :( I got confused between Menubars and Menus but i figured it out in the end after reading the API. Just got click baited I guess \O/

11:00 does anyone understand why the code errors out if you dont use "lambda:" ?

[@davorm4634]

Same question here...

[@jonasgames5476]

IDK but if you use lambda: without upper L it works for me

[@KirtiDhruv]

Here is the reason: The connect method requires a name of the function to connect to. If you pass clicked('xyz') ---> It means you are calling the function 'clicked' with 'xyz' as argument and the 'return value' of clicked will be passed to connect. Hence the error!

[@subzero9229]

@@jonasgames5476 Thank you so much. You inadvertently helped me fix my code. self.actionNew.triggered.connect(Lambda: self.clicked("New was clicked")) was not working. However, when "Lambda" is lowercase "lambda," it works. Again, I appreciate it.
