This README provides an overview of the PyQt6 Windows Terminal Widget (QtWinCon_Widget), detailing its functionality, dependencies, and usage.
The PyQt6 Windows Terminal Widget provides a terminal interface within a PyQt6 application that can interact with different shells such as cmd, PowerShell, or Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL2). Users can execute shell commands directly from this widget.
The PyQt6 Windows Terminal Widget is dependent on the following libraries:
In addition, this widget uses two custom modules:
Ensure that all these dependencies are properly installed and available in your environment.
Here’s a general guide on how to implement and use the PyQt6 Windows Terminal Widget in your PyQt6 application:
Below is a sample script (wincon_example.py) demonstrating how to instantiate the Windows Terminal widget in your PyQt6 application:
```python import sys from PyQt6.QtWidgets import QApplication, QMainWindow from qtwincon_widget import Ui_Terminal
def main(): app = QApplication(sys.argv)
# Create a QMainWindow instance
main_window = QMainWindow()
main_window.resize(800, 600) # Resize the window to 800x600
# Create a Ui_Terminal instance
shell = "cmd.exe" # You can also use "powershell.exe" or "wsl.exe"
terminal = Ui_Terminal(shell, main_window)
# Set terminal as the central widget of main_window
main_window.setCentralWidget(terminal)
main_window.setWindowTitle(f"PyQt6 - Terminal Widget - Shell is: {shell}")
main_window.show()
sys.exit(app.exec())
if name == “main”: main()
