In this video I explain how to use QtDesigner + my software video (by me): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dN7gXwnNoBA
THIS PACKAGE Requirements pip install PySimpleGUIDesigner PySide2 click
Use GUI(by default):
PySimpleGUIDesigner
Use CLI:
PySimpleGUIDesigner -xml "~/folder1/test.ui" -ob "somegroupBox"
Want to know parameters? Get help by:
PySimpleGUIDesigner --help # # Output: # Usage: main.py [OPTIONS] Options: -v, --verbose Verbose mode -xml, --xmlfile PATH absolute or relative path to ui_file -ob, --objname TEXT Object name of target container -nobadwidgets Forget about not-implemented(bad) widgets. Default - True -ic, --indent_char TEXT Indent character. Default is " " -ia, --indent_char_amount INTEGER Indent amount -o, --outputfile PATH Output file for PySimpleGUI code -pp_mouse Option - generate buttons events -pp_keys Option - generate all events --help Show this message and exit.
Ok(I don't know you need this), but here are the steps.
Let's imagine you say "I don't want pip install, I want to donwload this repo and run code. How can I do this?"
Solution 1:
# removing (if installed) PySimpleGUIDesigner: pip uninstall -y PySimpleGUIDesigner mkdir psgdesigner cd psgdesigner git clone https://github.com/nngogol/PySimpleGUIDesigner python3 -m PySimpleGUIDesigner # NOTE for Windows users: replace "python3" with "python" OR "py" # ALSO, output "help" by: # $ python3 -m PySimpleGUIDesigner --help
Solution 2:
mkdir psgdesigner cd psgdesigner git clone https://github.com/nngogol/PySimpleGUIDesigner cd PySimpleGUIDesigner python3 -m main_for_devel.py # for Windows users: replace "python3" with "python" OR "py"
python3 main.py --xmlfile="~/folder1/test.ui" --objname="somegroupBox" # a bit shorter command: python3 main.py -xml "~/folder1/test.ui" -ob "somegroupBox"
I like to use watch command.
This command will compile every 3 second and output to the screen:
watch -n 3 PySimpleGUIDesigner -xml "~/folder1/test.ui" -ob somegroupBoxalso, there is an entr command (install by apt install entr), which works even better. It makes you command, when file is changed:
This command will compile file ~/folder1/test.ui, when you change it(like you hit ctrl+s to save layout in .ui file):
echo "~/folder1/test.ui" | entr -p -s 'PySimpleGUIDesigner -xml "~/folder1/test.ui" -ob somegroupBox'
If you are on Windows OS without bash, then PySimpleGUIDesigner has build-it hot-reloader! So, use it, if you need.
Use bash redirect (or -o option):
PySimpleGUIDesigner -xml untitled.ui -ob v1 > untitled.py
PySimpleGUIDesigner -xml untitled.ui -ob v1 -o untitled.py#=================== Basics: ### using relative path: python3 main.py -xmlfile "untitled.ui" -objname="text1" python3 main.py -xmlfile "examples_of_ui/untitled.ui" -objname="vv1" ### using absolute path: python3 main.py -xmlfile "/tmp/examples_of_ui/untitled.ui" -objname="text1" #=================== Indent: # ia = indent amount, ic = indent char # indent 1: python3 main.py -xmlfile "untitled.ui" -objname="text1" -ic " " python3 main.py -xmlfile "untitled.ui" -objname="text1" -ic " " -ia 1 # the same effect, as command above # indent 2: python3 main.py -xmlfile "untitled.ui" -objname="text1" -ic " " -ia 2 ### add boilerplate to output file python3 main.py -xmlfile "untitled.ui" -objname="text1" -pp_mouse -ic " " -ia 2 python3 main.py -xmlfile "untitled.ui" -objname="text1" -pp_keys python3 main.py -xmlfile "untitled.ui" -objname="text1" -ic " " -ia 2 -pp_keys
Keep calm. I will try to help you.
Really do super easy thing - "Open Issue" in this repository: https://github.com/nngogol/PySimpleGUIDesigner/issues
- [done] xml -> py
- [interesting] psg code -> xml
- add some
picking templatesfor user - add some
boilerplate's in output generated code - unit tests,
pytest?
