Installation

interactiveTutorial is listed in the Python Package Index. You can install it typing:

pip install interactiveTutorial

Instead of a static PDF tutorial this package allows you to run and create tutorials within your PyQt4 based application. Tutorials are created through choosing a point of interest (POI), e.g. a widget, and typing an explaining text for each step.

Usage

RunTutorial

• widget to execute a given tutorial

CreateTutorial

• widget to create and edit tutorials

TutorialMenu

• QMenu listing all created tutorials and allowing to run and edit them.

• Embedd this one in your QMenuBar and you have all functionalities of interactiveTutorial

Issues

• Instances of QMenu and QAction cannot be chosen as POI

• QWidgets within QTreeWidgetItems are only marked on focus

Tests

interactiveTutorial uses mostly the ‘one class/function per module’ rule. Running each module as program, like:

python -m interactiveTutorial.TutorialMenu.TutorialMenu

will execute the test case of this module.
