# Qt Learning
User Interfaces written with the Qt framework using various techniques as a journey of self-discovery and to learn the best practices of working with Qt.
This project can be considered a constant work in progress, it is used for experimentation and testing with no functional goal in sight; only the goal of learning.
Take a look at the various [window screenshots](https://github.com/david-cattermole/qt-learning/blob/master/docs/windows.md).
# Installation
Dependencies:
- Qt4
- Python 2.7.x
- PyQt4 or PySide
- [Qt.py 0.6.9](https://github.com/mottosso/Qt.py/releases/tag/0.6.9)
Optional Dependencies:
- Autodesk Maya
To install, run this:
```commandline
$ cd
$ su
# Enter password here.
$ python setup.py install
```
Or, if you have virtualenv installed:
```commandline
$ cd
$ mkdir virtenv
$ virtualenv virtenv
$ virtenv/bin
$ source activate
$ cd ../..
$ pip install Qt.py
$ pip install python-pyqt5
# Optional, required for running tests only.
$ pip install coverage
$ python setup.py install
# Use package as needed.
# Clean up when you're done.
$ deactivate
```
# Usage and Testing
Here is an example usage:
```commandline
$ python runStandalone.py
```
Or if you'd like to use the widgets inside your own UIs, try this:
```python
# do stuff here
```
To open all the UIs in this project for testing, run the following command:
```commandline
$ python runStandalone.py
```
# Development
## Convention
- PEP8 Python convention for code.
- All UIs are first created in Qt Designer.
- UIs are always saved into ./ui directory.
## Design
- All UI pieces must be re-usable
