Build Your First PyQt6 App with VS Code | Step-by-Step Python GUI Tutorial for Beginners
📄 Description:
Welcome to my Python GUI tutorial! 👋 In this video, you'll learn how to build your first PyQt6 application from scratch using VS Code. We'll set up everything together, from creating a virtual environment to writing the full Python code for a simple greeting app. Perfect for beginners looking to dive into PyQt6 and start building powerful desktop apps!
➔ What You'll Learn:
1. Setting up your workspace:
Open VS Code.
Go to the File menu ➔ Add Folder to Workspace...
Create a new folder and name it: AI_PyQt6_App.
Open this folder in your workspace.
2. Setting up the virtual environment:
Open the Terminal menu ➔ New Terminal.
In the Terminal panel, choose Git Bash (or your preferred terminal).
Type the following command to create a virtual environment:
💻 Windows:
python -m venv .venv_AI
💻MacOS/Linux:
python3 -m venv .venv_AI
To activate your virtual environment:
source .venv_AI/Scripts/activate
3. Install PyQt6:
First, upgrade pip:
python -m pip install --upgrade pip
Then install PyQt6:
pip install PyQt6
4. Check installed modules:
To verify your environment is set up correctly:
pip list
🚀 Build a Simple Greeting App:
Now let's write a PyQt6 app that greets the user by their name! We'll create a form with:
A text input field (name_input)
A "Greet" button (greet_button)
A label (greeting_label) to display the greeting.
💻 Full Python Script:
from PyQt6.QtWidgets import QApplication, QWidget, QLabel, QPushButton, QVBoxLayout, QLineEdit
import sys
def greet():
name = name_input.text()
greeting_label.setText(f"Hello, {name}!")
app = QApplication(sys.argv)
window = QWidget()
window.setWindowTitle("My First PyQt6 App")
Widgets
name_input = QLineEdit()
name_input.setPlaceholderText("Enter your name")
greet_button = QPushButton("Greet")
greet_button.clicked.connect(greet)
greeting_label = QLabel("")
Layout
layout = QVBoxLayout()
layout.addWidget(name_input)
layout.addWidget(greet_button)
layout.addWidget(greeting_label)
window.setLayout(layout)
window.show()
sys.exit(app.exec())
➔ Pro Tips:
Make sure your .venv_AI environment is activated every time you work on the project.
PyQt6 allows you to build professional desktop applications with Python—this is just the beginning!
