A collection of 15 small — minute — desktop applications written in Python 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.

If you think this example app is neat and want to learn more about PyQt in general, take a look at my ebook & online course "Create Simple GUI Applications" which covers everything you need to know to start building your own applications with PyQt.

More articles, tutorials and projects using PyQt can be found on my site.
