        self.setWindowTitle("Python ")

        # setting geometry
        self.setGeometry(100, 100, 600, 400)

        # calling method

    # method for widgets
    def UiComponents(self):

        # creating a push button
        button = QPushButton("CLICK", self)

        # setting geometry of button
        button.setGeometry(200, 150, 100, 40)

        # adding action to a button
        button.clicked.connect(self.clickme)

        # getting text in button
        text = button.text()

        # creating label to print text
        label = QLabel(text, self)
        label.move(200, 200)

    # action method
    def clickme(self):

        # printing pressed
        print("pressed")

# create pyqt5 app
App = QApplication(sys.argv)

# create the instance of our Window
window = Window()

# start the app
sys.exit(App.exec())
