After last month’s workshop with Tkinter, we’ll show you another great new option for developing GUIs in Python. PyQt5 is the latest iteration of the Python binding for the cross-platform Qt GUI toolkit, implemented as a plugin.
In this session, we’ll use PyQt5 to code our own customizable rich text editor a la Microsoft Word. We’ll implement file system interactions, selective text formatting, and other features one expects from a modern word processor.
