A collection of 15 small — *minute* — desktop applications written in Python
|
2018-02-09 23:10:03 +01:00
|
|
|
using the PyQt framework. These apps are intended as examples from
|
|
|
|
|
which you can poke, hack and prod your way to writing your own tools.

|
|
|
The apps showcase various parts of the Qt framework, including advanced widgets,
|
|
|
|
|
multimedia, graphics views and decorationless windows. However, the most
|
|
|
|
|
generally interesting/feature complete applications are Minesweeper, Solitaire
|
|
|
|
|
and Paint.

## Getting started
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To use each app you first need to install the requirements. In most cases
|
|
|
|
|
the only requirements are PyQt5, and occasionally requests. To install
|
|
|
|
|
app-specific requirements change to the folder of the app and run:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
pip3 install -r requirements.txt
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Once the requirements are installed, you can run the app using Python 3.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
python3 <filename>.py
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The application window should appear.
