Python PySide6 Tutorial

PySide6 is a set of Python bindings for the Qt application framework. It allows Python developers to create cross-platform applications with a native look and feel. In this tutorial, we will explore the basics of PySide6 and create a simple GUI application.

Installation

To install PySide6, you can use pip:

pip install PySide6

Creating a Simple GUI Application

Let's create a simple GUI application that displays a button. When the button is clicked, a message box will pop up.

import sys
from PySide6.QtWidgets import QApplication, QPushButton, QMessageBox

def show_message_box():
    msg_box = QMessageBox()
    msg_box.setText("Hello, PySide6!")
    msg_box.exec_()

app = QApplication(sys.argv)

button = QPushButton("Click Me")
button.clicked.connect(show_message_box)
button.show()

sys.exit(app.exec_())

In this code snippet, we create a QApplication instance, a QPushButton instance, and connect the button's clicked signal to a function that shows a message box. Finally, we start the application event loop with app.exec_().
