In this article we will see how we can create a PyQt5 application which tells about the cases of corona around the world i.e number of confirmed cases, number of cases in which patient has recovered and total deaths due to corona.
Modules required and Installation:
PyQt5 : PyQt is a Python binding of the cross-platform GUI toolkit Qt, implemented as a Python plug-in. PyQt is free software developed by the British firm Riverbank Computing.
Requests : Requests allows you to send HTTP/1.1 requests extremely easily. There’s no need to manually add query strings to your URLs.
Beautiful Soup: Beautiful Soup is a library that makes it easy to scrape information from web pages. It sits atop an HTML or XML parser, providing Pythonic idioms for iterating, searching, and modifying the parse tree.
Implementations steps :
1. Create a push-button set its geometry
2. Create three labels to show information about total cases, recovered cases and death cases
3. Set geometry, alignment and border to each label
4. Add action to the push button
5. Inside the action scrap the data from the website with the help of requests BeautifulSoup
6. Convert the raw data into html code and then filter it to get the required output
7. Show the output the screen with the help of labels
Below is the implementation
# importing libraries from PyQt5.QtWidgets import * from PyQt5 import QtCore, QtGui
from PyQt5.QtGui import * from PyQt5.QtCore import * from bs4 import BeautifulSoup as BS
import requests
import sys
class Window(QMainWindow):
def __init__( self ):
super ().__init__()
# setting title
self .setWindowTitle( "Python " )
# setting geometry
self .setGeometry( 100 , 100 , 400 , 500 )
# calling method
self .UiComponents()
# showing all the widgets
self .show()
# method for widgets
def UiComponents( self ):
# create push button to perform function
push = QPushButton( "Press" , self )
# setting geometry to the push button
push.setGeometry( 125 , 100 , 150 , 40 )
# creating label to show the total cases
self .label_total = QLabel( "Total Cases " , self )
# setting geometry
self .label_total.setGeometry( 100 , 200 , 200 , 40 )
# setting alignment to the text
self .label_total.setAlignment(Qt.AlignCenter)
# adding border to the label
self .label_total.setStyleSheet( "border : 2px solid black;" )
# creating label to show the recovered cases
self .label_reco = QLabel( "Recovered Cases " , self )
# setting geometry
self .label_reco.setGeometry( 100 , 250 , 200 , 40 )
# setting alignment to the text
self .label_reco.setAlignment(Qt.AlignCenter)
# adding border
self .label_reco.setStyleSheet( "border : 2px solid black;" )
# creating label to show death cases
self .label_death = QLabel( "Total Deaths " , self )
# setting geometry
self .label_death.setGeometry( 100 , 300 , 200 , 40 )
# setting alignment to the text
self .label_death.setAlignment(Qt.AlignCenter)
# adding border to the label
self .label_death.setStyleSheet( "border : 2px solid black;" )
# adding action to the push button
push.clicked.connect( self .get_cases)
# method called by push
def get_cases( self ):
# getting the request from url
# converting the text
soup = BS(data.text, 'html.parser' )
# finding meta info for total cases
total = soup.find( "div" , class_ = "maincounter-number" ).text
# filtering it
total = total[ 1 : len (total) - 2 ]
# finding meta info for other numbers
other = soup.find_all( "span" , class_ = "number-table" )
# getting recovered cases number
recovered = other[ 2 ].text
# getting death cases number
deaths = other[ 3 ].text
# filtering the data
deaths = deaths[ 1 :]
self .label_total.setText( "Total Cases : " + total)
self .label_reco.setText( "Recovered Cases : " + recovered)
self .label_death.setText( "Total Deaths : " + deaths)
# create pyqt5 app App = QApplication(sys.argv)
# create the instance of our Window window = Window()
window.show() # start the app sys.exit(App. exec ())
