Welcome to the qt5_by_example wiki! --- We are still pre alpha, come back later unless you are feeling adventurous. 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.

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
