An extension for the Python PySide2, PyQt5, PySide6 or PyQt6 Qt Framework which expands the scope of the PySide2, PyQt5, PySide6 or PyQt6 package with many different modern widgets. Current release is occupied with two widget which are not natively present in the PySide2, PyQt5, PySide6 or PyQt6 package.
RoundProgressBar
SpiralProgressBar

- Install PySideExtn using
pip
pip install PySideExtn- Build from source: After cloning the repo, go to the directory and open
cmdorterminal
$ python3 setup.py sdist bdist_wheel- Install from
.whlfile.
pip install <PySideExtn------.whl>fileTo verify that installation is complete, print out the pip list and search for the PySideExtn package.
For more details go to the Official PySideExtn Documentation Getting Started
Quick demo help you to check weather you have successfully installed the Python Package. It comes with a UI loaded with all the widgets in this package with its different customized views. Users can easily differentiate the different styling elements used by widgets.
After installing the PySideExtn/PyQtExtn the users can try out quick demo by:
- Open the
cmdorterminal. OpenPython
>> from PySideExtn.demo import demo
>> demo.main() #PRESS ENTER AND YOU WILL GET A DEMO APPLICATION

In this demo, we first created an object of the Round Progress Bar:
self.rpb = RoundProgressBar() #CREATING THE ROUND PROGRESS BAR OBJECTAfter that calling the Round Progress Bar object to display the value of progress using:
self.rpb.setValue(x) #CHANGING THE VALUE OF THE PROGRESS BARThe setValue(value) takes an int as an argument and updates to change the value of the progress bar to the value given.

Here first create a SpiralProgressBar object and then add the progress bar to a layout and control the steps of the progress bar by the clicking of the button.
self.spb = SpiralProgressBar()
-
Here we create a SpiralProgressBar object instance and then use the
self.spbas the spiral progress bar to influence its charactor like:self.spb.setValue((x, x*2, x*3))
-
Since the default progress bar has 3 individual concentric circle, where each can be controlled individually, we pass a tuple containing the individual value for manipulating each concentric progress bar, to the function
setValue(), which only accepts a tuple of length equal to the number of concentric progress bar. Every function which can manipulate the properties of the Spiral Progress Bar uses the same idea. The order of entering the value are shown below:

Please feel free to contribute to the project by sharing the idea you have, which is not natively present in the PySide2, PyQt5, PySide6 or PyQt6/PyQt5 but essential for your workflow.
-
If your idea worth the use, then definitely it will be available in the next update of the PySideExtn/PyQtExtn.
😃 Support like this motivates me to do more creative, work for Open Source.
