Build a Contact Book With Python, PyQt, and SQLite

 By realpython - 2021-03-10

Description

In this step-by-step project, you'll build a minimal contact book application using Python, with PyQt to build the application's GUI and SQLite to handle the database.

Summary

  • Building projects is arguably one of the more approachable and effective ways of learning to program.
  • Structuring the Contact Book Project To start coding the application, go ahead and create a new directory called rpcontacts_project/.
  • This will be the project’s root directory.
  • Then you call this function to create and open a connection to the contact database.
  • Connecting the Model to the View To display contact data in your contact book’s main window, you need to connect the table view with the data model.
