Qt for Python (PySide/Shiboken)

now, if you *dont* want the layout to automatically position them, you can call setGeometry on them. that's really not nice. :)

Is there a way to iterate over a layout's children?

if you just specify a parent, they are not automatically added to a layout

But I sure see them right after creation. Overlapping one another.

Thanks for the hint. This way I can call their methods!

No, that's incorrect. The dialogs are visible *if* the eventloop has time to paint them, when you are on a method (or on the widget constructor), there's no way that a paint can run.

from PyQt5.QtWidgets import QApplication, QWidget, QPushButton, QGridLayout import sys class View(QWidget): def __init__(self): super().__init__() self.initUI() def initUI(self): self.btn1 = QPushButton(self, text="very long button name") self.btn2 = QPushButton(self, text="short name") self.btn1.clicked.connect(self.pressbutton1) self.btn2.clicked.connect(self.pressbutton2) #self.grid = QGridLayout() #self.setLayout(self.grid) def pressbutton1(self): print(1, flush=True) def pressbutton2(self): print(2, flush=True) def main(): app = QApplication([]) view = View() view.show() sys.exit(app.exec()) if name == "__main__": main()

you are *not* adding the widgets to the grid.

Yes I am not.
