This code implements a Python PyQt5 GUI application that opens a window displaying an input dialog, allowing the user to enter text. Here's what happens:
-
Imports:
- The
sys
module is used to manage the application's exit flow. - Various PyQt5 components (
QApplication
,QInputDialog
, andQWidget
) are imported for the GUI application.
- The
-
MainWindow Class:
- A custom QWidget subclass called
MainWindow
is created. - Its
__init__
method initializes the baseQWidget
class and calls theinit_ui()
method. - The
init_ui()
method callsopen_input_dialog()
, which displays a modal input dialog (QInputDialog.getText
).
- A custom QWidget subclass called
-
open_input_dialog() Method:
- Creates an input dialog box with:
- A title:
"do-not-tile-please"
. - A label:
"stop reading this"
.
- A title:
- If the user provides input and confirms (i.e., clicks OK), the method prints the inputted text to the terminal with
print(f"User input: {text}")
. - The program terminates immediately using
sys.exit()
whether the dialog is completed, canceled, or input is provided.
- Creates an input dialog box with:
-
Application Initialization:
- A
QApplication
object (app
) is created to manage the GUI application's event loop. - An instance of
MainWindow
is created, triggering the display of the input dialog. - The application enters its event loop (
app.exec_()
), which handles GUI events untilsys.exit()
is called.
- A
Output Behavior:
- When the program runs, a small input dialog window appears.
- The user is asked to input text. The label suggests
"stop reading this"
, and the title is"do-not-tile-please"
. - When the user either inputs text and clicks OK or cancels, the program:
- Prints the text if the user provided input and pressed OK.
- Otherwise, it simply exits the program immediately.
Purpose:
This code demonstrates how to use QInputDialog
to gather user input from a simple dialog in a PyQt5 application and terminate the program after displaying the result.
