Robitaille Jun 11, 2018 Contents 1 Installing 3 2 Part 1 - Hello, World! 5 3 Part 2 - Buttons and events 7 4 Part 3 - Laying out widgets 9 5 Part 4 - Dynamically updating widgets 13 i ii Python Qt tutorial Documentation, Release 0.0 This is a short tutorial on using Qt from Python. There are two main versions of Qt in use (Qt4 and Qt5) and several Python libraries to use Qt from Python (PyQt and PySide), but rather than picking one of these, this tutorial makes use of the QtPy package which provides a way to use whatever Python Qt package is available. This is not meant to be a completely exhaustive tutorial but just a place to start if you’ve never done Qt development before, and it will be expanded over time. Contents 1 Python Qt tutorial Documentation, Release 0.0 2 Contents CHAPTER 1 Installing 1.1 conda If you use conda to manage your Python environment (for example as part of Anaconda or Miniconda), you can easily install Qt, PyQt5, and QtPy (a common interface to all Python Qt bindings) using: conda install pyqt qtpy 1.2 pip If you don’t make use of conda, an easy way to install Qt, PyQt5, and QtPy is to do: pip install pyqt5 qtpy 3 Python Qt tutorial Documentation, Release 0.0 4 Chapter 1. Installing CHAPTER 2 Part 1 - Hello, World! To start off, we need to create a QApplication object, which represents the overall application: from qtpy.QtWidgets import QApplication app= QApplication([]) You will always need to ensure that a QApplication object exists, otherwise your Python script will terminate with an error if you try and use any other Qt objects.

In order to avoid privative software like: Matlab, Visual Basic, Labview. In this laboratory, we are going to use Python and different libraries which are completely free and open source. The advantages of using these kind of technologies are the following ones: you have control over all parts of your system and you don't need to trust in external companies and private design cycles. In this project, you will learn how to integrate a fully functional project from a reconfigurable part to high level programming in Python. The main objective of the project is that the student, at the end, understands how to integrate all the parts to create a final product. Objectives • To design a fully functional GUI (Graphical User Interface) • To create a controller of the GUI • To connect a Zedboard to the GUI • To control a Zedboard from the GUI • To get data and plot from Zedboard Procedure This project has different parts.

Multiple programming languages are designed, specified, and implemented every year in order to keep up with the changing programming paradigms, hardware evolution, etc. In this paper we present a comparative study between six programming languages: C++, PHP, C#, Java, Python, VB ; These languages are compared under the characteristics of reusability, reliability, portability, availability of compilers and tools, readability, efficiency, familiarity and expressiveness. 1. Introduction: Programming languages are fascinating and interesting field of study. Computer scientists tend to create new programming language. Thousand different languages have been created in the last few years. Some languages enjoy wide popularity and others introduce new features. Each language has its advantages and drawbacks. The present work provides a comparison of various properties, paradigms, and features used by a couple of popular programming languages: C++, PHP, C#, Java, Python, VB. With these variety of languages and their widespread use, software designer and programmers should to be aware
