Where can one make a suggestion for future pyqt6 updates (wish list)

Is there a wish list type place for someone to suggest improvements ?

There’s 2 things I’d like to see added.

  1. Ability to make Data Grid scrollable by touch / drag similar to what’s in Kivy.

  2. Ability for pyqt6 to run under Android natively without wine or other type addons.

Hi @weave is this for the website or the book?

I just released an update to the book (notification will be going out in a couple of weeks, as I’m off on vacation) but it doesn’t cover these things yet. But I can see them being a good addition to the website.

Hi Martin,

I guess it would be both. A new widget for PyQt6 and added documentation for it’s use in the latest version of your book.

Originally I started with kivy / kivyMD but dropped it when I found a problem with the python debugger stepping code and their documentation was terrible.

I found PyQt6 to be very stable and with your help (book and website) I was able to finish an App I was working on. The only thing I missed having was a Scrolling Container (kivy has this) that widgets can be added to provide scrolling capabilities (grids, lists) on touch screens. Not sure how big a change this would be and again this would be a wish list item.

Thanks,

Hi Martin

I take it that to put scrolling via touch into a Data Grid is a big ask…

Can you combine pyqt6 widgets to achieve something like this (custom widget) ?

To provide an update to my desire for the TableWidget / TableView to have scrolling capabilities I stumbled upon gestures and from what I could make out both the TableWidget and TableView should be able to handle a gesture event.

After a considerable effort googling around for examples (python) and many attempts to achieve a scrollable widget I simply could not get a swipe gesture or any gesture to work.

So on to another work around …

Definitely did not want to waste anymore time with the Riverbank folks so I simply increased the width of my TableWidgets ScrollBar (CSS) so I can properly drag the handle with my finger and adjusted the width of TableWidget so my last column wasn’t being cut off by the ScrollBar. Works like a charm on touch screen … KISS principal is something that has always worked for me.
