Abstract

While most development tasks can be solved with buttons, text editing widgets, and other components provided by PyQt, you may at some point find yourself in a situation where no single widget provides you with the tools or functionality that you need. You might even find yourself needing to use a widget you made in other GUIs and therefore need a way to easily import your custom-made widget into other applications. Thankfully, PyQt allows developers to build and import their own widgets for solving new and unforeseen tasks.
