PyQt is an extension for Python that is a set of bindings to Qt's graphics libraries. Previously, PyQt functionality was implemented in the Eric development environment, but later the extension "grew" into a separate project. It allows you to "combine" the rich functionality and "flexibility" of the Qt framework with the simplicity and comprehensibility of the Python object-oriented programming language.

The extension is multi-platform and works on all modern operating systems. It allows you to implement almost all the classes, methods and functions of the above framework. Besides, there is a huge set of tools in it which will be useful for any developer. For example, PyQt includes a Qt Designer GUI designer with an integrated Python code generator. Qt Designer itself is an excellent prototyping tool and allows you to quickly integrate code for different management tools.

In addition, PyQt includes a complete set of graphical shell widgets, XML parser, supports SVG shapes, multimedia functions (audio and video playback) and can be integrated with the popular WebKit engine.

Structurally, PyQt is divided into ten independent modules: QtCore (working with basic graphics classes), QtNetwork (network classes), QtScript (classes for the built-in JavaScript interpreter), QtXml (classes that process XML), QtSql (classes for working with databases), and so on. In general, for each important function and class there is a "separate" module. The extension is distributed under the GPL license, i.e. it is completely free and has open source code.

Jamie

PyQt is an excellent product as it works very well with Python and in addition to this there are many separate independent modules which all appear to work very well. One benefit of this is that it has an open source code which works very efficiently.

PyQt for windows is a software that enables one to be able to create programs which are GUI-based. The software as well can be able to provide one with a pre-build design which can be used to create a complex GUI program. The software is free and it can be downloaded for free form the internet and it works in all windows from windows 7 to windows 10. The software is mainly written in the C++ or the python language.
