Using Bootstrap or Fontawesome in PySide GUIs

[Mahmoodreza Aarabi]

Hello Developer
i want to know anybody used FontAwesome or Bootstrap in GUIs that created with PySide?

How is the workflow?
thanks

[Roy Nieterau]

I'm using FontAwesome through QtAwesome and it's great. It's a package on Github and is just what I needed. I remember there being some extra dependencies to be both Py2 and Py3 compatible, but that was easy to remove (I only needed Py2).

It only depends on 'six' I think it was called. Nothing huge. Easy to use and supporting colors, different sizes, etc.

Hey Roy
Thanks, it is good and i tested it and it worked.
but instead of importing PySide we should import qtpy, this will not cause problem later?

Bests,

I also removed that dependency and am just loading PySide. ;)

hey man
thanks

i have this program as test:

#!/usr/bin/python
import sys
from PySide import QtCore, QtGui
# from qtpy import QtCore, QtGui
import qtawesome as qta

app = QtGui.QApplication(sys.argv)

fa_icon = qta.icon('fa.camera')
fa_button = QtGui.QPushButton(fa_icon, 'Camera')
fa_button.setIconSize(QtCore.QSize(32, 32))

fa_button.show()

sys.exit(app.exec_())

interesting thins is that it does not work on my system but in clean VM it works.
in bat file i set local packages, in local packages i have PySide and qtawesome

do you think i have some packages on my environment variables that conflict with local envs?

this is the error in my system:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "E:\Madoodia\_GitHub\_ANR\Pipeline\_bin\..\pyside_samples\pyside_awesome_
simple.py", line 12, in <module>

Bests,

Did you change code in the QtAwesome package? Does it itself still have imports from qtpy or six?

Not sure what's happening on your system.

[Roy Nieterau]

Or actually the error (I missed that in your post at first) says it's a signature error. That 'str' there should be unicode object. You can force it to unicode using

label = u"label text"

Where the 'u' explicitly states that it should be a unicode object.

Funnily enough I can't remember seeing this particular issue before, and it's interesting it works in one of the two systems:

- Does it have same Python version?
- Are you enforcing future imports in one rof the two? (from __future__ import something) Something like that.

[Mahmoodreza Aarabi]

i added u'label', but does not work.

no not two version of code.

i have a py file and a bat file. when i run the bat file that call the py file, in my system it does not work. when i run the bat file (shared its folder) in clean VM it works

make sense?

i didn't change qtawesome code

fa_icon = qta.icon('fa.camera') returns QIcon?
