ezqt-app 3.1.0

Lightweight framework based on PySide6 to quickly build modern desktop applications, with integrated resource, theme, and reusable component management.

EzQt-App

Description

EzQt-App is a Python framework designed to make it easy to create modern Qt applications, based on a template by Wanderson M. Pimenta. It automates resource management, generates all required files, and offers a fast project bootstrap experience with a CLI command.

🚀 New PySide6 6.9.1 Features

QMessageLogger

The project now includes a utility to use PySide6 6.9.1's QMessageLogger:

from ezqt_app.utils.qmessage_logger import QtLogger

logger = QtLogger("MyApp")
logger.info("Application started")
logger.debug("Debug mode enabled")
logger.warning("Warning: experimental feature")

Type Annotations Improvements

• Complete type annotations for better maintainability
• More robust code with PySide6 6.9.1 improvements
• Support for new APIs and features
• Better autocompletion in IDEs

Windows ARM64 Support

• Extended compatibility with new architectures
• Improved performance on ARM64 systems

✨ Main Features

• Automatic generation of asset folders and files (icons, images, themes, etc.)
• Dynamic themes (light/dark) with integrated toggle
• CLI command ezqt_init to quickly initialize a new project
• Ready-to-use main.py example generated automatically
• Modular and extensible structure
• Global translation system with multi-language support
• Advanced resource manager with automatic detection
• Custom widgets with animations and themes

📦 Installation

Install the module via pip (recommended):

pip install ezqt_app

Or locally:

git clone https://github.com/neuraaak/ezqt_app.git
cd ezqt_app
pip install .

🔧 Dependencies

Main dependencies are installed automatically:

• PySide6==6.9.1 - Modern Qt framework
• PyYaml==6.0.2 - YAML file management
• colorama==0.4.6 - Terminal colors
• requests==2.32.3 - HTTP requests
• ezqt-widgets>=2.0.0 - Custom widgets

🚀 Project Initialization

After installation, initialize a new project in an empty folder with:

ezqt_init

This command creates the base structure, resource folders, and a sample main.py file.

💻 Minimal Usage Example

import ezqt_app.main as ezqt
from ezqt_app.app import EzQt_App, EzApplication
import sys

ezqt.init()
app = EzApplication(sys.argv)
window = EzQt_App(themeFileName="main_theme.qss")
window.show()
app.exec()

🌍 Translation System

The framework includes a complete translation system:

from ezqt_app.kernel.translation_manager import get_translation_manager

# Get the translation manager
tm = get_translation_manager()

# Change language
tm.load_language("English")

# Translate text
translated = tm.translate("Hello World")

Supported languages: English, French, Spanish, German
