PyQt5 window

You can create a PyQT5 window using the code below:


import sys
from PyQt5.QtWidgets import QApplication, QWidget
from PyQt5.QtGui import QIcon

class App(QWidget):

def __init__(self):
super().__init__()
self.title = 'PyQt5 simple window - pythonspot.com'
self.left = 10
self.top = 10
self.width = 640
self.height = 480
self.initUI()

def initUI(self):
self.setWindowTitle(self.title)
self.setGeometry(self.left, self.top, self.width, self.height)
self.show()

if __name__ == '__main__':
app = QApplication(sys.argv)
ex = App()
sys.exit(app.exec_())

We set the window size using the setGeometry(left,top,width,height) method. The window title is set using setWindowTitle(title). Finally show() is called to display the window.

Run with:


python3 window.py

The output should look similar to the screenshot above (depending on your operating system).
