PyQt5 Webkit (QWebview) inside a browser

PyQt5 comes with a webkit webbrowser. Webkit is an open source web browser rendering engine that is used by Apple Safari and others. It was used in the older versions of Google Chrome, they have switched to the Blink rendering engine.

QWebView
The widget is called QWebView and webpages (HTML content) can be shown through this widget, local or live from the internet.

Methods
The QWebView class comes with a lot of methods including:

back (self)

forward (self)

load (self, QUrl url)

reload (self)

pyqt treeview

PyQt5 (python with qt5 bindings) supports a tree view widget (class QTreeView). In this article we will show how to use the widget.

The image shows a QTreeView widget with data inside it.

PyQt5 Treeview Example

The code below will create a treeview using the QTreeView class (Run using Python 3). Data is added to the treeview by code. Explanation of the code is below the code block.

from PyQt5.QtCore import (QDate, QDateTime, QRegExp, QSortFilterProxyModel, Qt,

from PyQt5.QtGui import QStandardItemModel
from PyQt5.QtWidgets import (QApplication, QCheckBox, QComboBox, QGridLayout,
QGroupBox, QHBoxLayout, QLabel, QLineEdit, QTreeView, QVBoxLayout,

class App(QWidget):
    
    FROM, SUBJECT, DATE = range(3)
    
    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__()
        self.title = 'PyQt5 Treeview Example - pythonspot.com'
        self.left = 10
        self.top = 10
        self.width = 640
        self.height = 240
        self.initUI()
        
    def initUI(self):
        self.setWindowTitle(self.title)
        self.setGeometry(self.left, self.top, self.width, self.height)
        
        self.dataGroupBox = QGroupBox("Inbox")
        self.dataView = QTreeView()
        self.dataView.setRootIsDecorated(False)
        self.dataView.setAlternatingRowColors(True)
        
        dataLayout = QHBoxLayout()
        dataLayout.addWidget(self.dataView)
        self.dataGroupBox.setLayout(dataLayout)
        
        model = self.createMailModel(self)
        self.dataView.setModel(model)
        self.addMail(model, '[email protected]', 'Your Github Donation','03/25/2017 02:05 PM')
        self.addMail(model, '[email protected]', 'Github Projects','02/02/2017 03:05 PM')
        self.addMail(model, '[email protected]', 'Your Phone Bill','01/01/2017 04:05 PM')

        mainLayout = QVBoxLayout()
        mainLayout.addWidget(self.dataGroupBox)
        self.setLayout(mainLayout)
        
        self.show()

    def createMailModel(self,parent):
        model = QStandardItemModel(0, 3, parent)
        model.setHeaderData(self.FROM, Qt.Horizontal, "From")
        model.setHeaderData(self.SUBJECT, Qt.Horizontal, "Subject")
        model.setHeaderData(self.DATE, Qt.Horizontal, "Date")
        return model
    
    def addMail(self,model, mailFrom, subject, date):
        model.insertRow(0)
        model.setData(model.index(0, self.FROM), mailFrom)
        model.setData(model.index(0, self.SUBJECT), subject)
        model.setData(model.index(0, self.DATE), date)

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

Treeview Explanation

We create a new tree view object using the line:


self.dataView = QTreeView()

The view is set to have a model,


self.dataView.setModel(model)

Where model is


model = QStandardItemModel(0, 3, parent)
model.setHeaderData(self.FROM, Qt.Horizontal, "From")
model.setHeaderData(self.SUBJECT, Qt.Horizontal, "Subject")
model.setHeaderData(self.DATE, Qt.Horizontal, "Date")

Then we add data using:


model.insertRow(0)
model.setData(model.index(0, self.FROM), mailFrom)
model.setData(model.index(0, self.SUBJECT), subject)
model.setData(model.index(0, self.DATE), date)
