We are in the process of copying from the qt5_by_example wiki, and will update for pyqt which is compatible with qt5 qt6 and pyside.

see Compatible Qt Application Status

Welcome to the qt5_by_example wiki! --- We now alpha, stay if you feel a bit adventurous otherwise come back a bit later. In any case this is an application/book for Python QT5 developers, if you are one read on.

We have big plans for this Wiki: we hope to turn it into a book that combined with the code here will be a good place to learn a lot about Qt. The working title of the book is "What We Know about QT5". This title because we are only going to cover what we have learned from writing QT applications and doing a bit of research. There is a lot more to QT that we have not learned, yet.

If you know something about QT and would like to contribute we are very open to that.

This app is about QT5 which is nearing end of life. When that happens we will convert to some version of QT6 and keep this app as an archive and keep going on the new QT6_By_Example and What We Know about QT6
