Thanks Hala, this is a very straight forward tutorial, it took me no time to have PyQt6 and Qt Designer set to Rock & Roll

Is there a way to change the colour of the title bar? any workarounds?

[mayank]

Thanks for the Video !!! It was very Helpful for me ...
BTW, I have Qt C++ already installed in my computer, so Qt designer is also installed along with it. So, do I need to download the Designer again to use it with python ?

Hi Hala. PyQt5-tools throws error on latest Python version like version 3.10 onwards. Any solution for that?

How do I put a shortcut for this application, so I avoid all that step of following all that route to be able to use the application

Superb direct to the point vid. Just a comment for others following along to say this will NOT work if your Python 3 is later than 3.9, so if any viewers are having errors when installing the 'PyQt6-Tools' this will be the reason. I installed the latest Python 3.11 and did not work, uninstalled this installed Python 3.9.5 and then followed this video and all worked fine. Many many thks for this. One last note, why I did this I have no idea as I have never programmed in Python before but I used pip3 to do the installing, so any of you command lines that start with pip i used pip3, can you comment on why you used pip and I'm am only assuming that pip3 goes with python3 ???. Thks again.

Nice tutorial, though I'm not sure that it was ever followed up with more tutorials on Qt6 as mentioned

Hi Hala
I'm getting this error "AttributeError: module 'sipbuild.api' has no attribute after running pip install pyqt6-tools
Can you please help me 🙏 I tried googling it got I can't find a solution

Python 3.12.2 & .3 WITH pyqt6-tools 6.4.2.3.3 gives errors when trying to install PyQt6 tools, so if your having a lot of errors like me, maybe try installing an older version of python / pyqt

I have this issue :

qtbuild\builder.py", line 69, in apply_user_defaults
raise PyProjectOptionException('qmake',

[end of output]

note: This error originates from a subprocess, and is likely not a problem with pip.
error: metadata-generation-failed

× Encountered error while generating package metadata.
╰─> See above for output.

note: This is an issue with the package mentioned above, not pip.
hint: See above for details.

Hello, First of all I am new to your channel. Secondly I have no hearing or comprehension issues of any kind. My... I guess comment/complaint is the speed at which you are speaking. To someone that is completely familiar with the subject matter all the words that you are saying may be flowing smoothly and fully understandable. However to someone that is totally new to the subject having information or instructions spoken with the words just running from one directly into another makes it very difficult to follow what it is that you are saying. The words seem to run together. It is exactly like trying to read something that is typed that has no or very few spaces or punctuation. I now know what my mother-in-law feels like. She is quite hard of hearing and I speak with an intentional 1/4 to 1/2 second between each word so that she can understand what I am saying. It makes repeating myself much less necessary. I backed up and replayed parts of the video as many as 5 times in order to catch what was being said because of words just flowing from one directly into another. Which is fine between people that fully know the subject. However the purpose of the video would self defeating if it was a learning or educational video to teach those that knew the subject well enough to follow without any issues at all. They probably would not need the video assist. I learned decades ago when teaching that you must speak in such a way as to make what you are saying understandable and can be followed with ease. The primary goal of those listening is focusing to understand what the idea being communicated is however, to preempt that with trying to just understand and follow the words that are spoken in it's place causes following and absorbing the information being given a secondary task that is absolutely dependent upon the first being successfully done. I know I am long winded and ADHD and tend to run on. I am not bitching or being an ass by no means just conveying my problems with watching and learning from your video and your gracious sharing of information. I usually just go on to the next video until I find one that has both speech and video because it is always best to have both. And your voice is not one that is offensive or grating as some one here are. So I figured the best solution would be to be informative and maybe help alleviate what I see as the only issue with the video.

Thank You
