I'm wrinting a program in Python using PySide as GUI creator but I'm stuck now i want to get a new window in the MDI when user clicks something like 'new' button but I'm not able to figure it out how that can happen so need some help...
Thanks in Advance
Since your question is very light on details, I will just give you some links to a simple example application that probably does a lot of what you want.
It is based on this Qt MDI example:
The PySide code itself can be dowloaded from the PySide Examples Repository.
For more examples like this, see the PySide Examples and Demos.

I'm in a dilemma. I've got a python code that works for each of the yellow squares shown below but I want to make an application that looks like below and uses the information from the first text box and the second drag and drop box. Then depending on what the user clicked on, the code for that would run. I'm not sure how to approach this. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
You can use Python GUI libraries like:
Tkinter
PyQT
WxPython
Kivy
Pyglet
(This list is not exhaustive.)
Each has their own advantages and disadvantages. Choose the one that fits your project the best.
My personal recommendation for your particular project would be Kivy.
I have a python GUI that opens a Chrome window using Seleium. Is there any way in the PyQT GUI to embed the Chrome browser's window so there are not 2 separate windows and its just the GUI? Guessing not possible but worth it to ask.
I have been looking to do exactly the same. I don't have a complete answer but hopefully some of what I found will be of use to others who are trying to do this as well.
It IS possible to embed the window of an outside application into a Python QT application. While I could quote various reference pages I have found that the following question gives most of the information and a good starting point to find more:
QT 5.5 embed external application into QWidget
Now, that requires knowing the Window ID but that isn't too hard to find. You can do that in Windows at least as described here:

As I said, this isn't a complete answer but should put anyone else following this trail several steps closer to the complete answer. Good luck everyone and if you find the complete answer please share it.
I am developing an application which uses treeview. Initially, I used Qt designer for the GUI and after, compiled the ui file into python. Until now everything was just fine. Now I want to copy and paste the file on pressing Copy and Paste buttons simultaneously.
I watched and read many tutorials but they used re implementation of QPushButton. I can't adopt this technique because I used designer to create GUI and cant make changes in that file. Please help me to figure out that how can i use QEvents of my treeview.
I hope my question is clear.
I've been searching the internet far and wide for a tutorial on creating custom items for QListView using PySide. I find some usage using PyQt but I find them really strange to me. I would like to recreate using PySide the appearance of the items of the list shown in this link since I'm creating a desktop version of this web application. Any help/idea/sample code is greatly appreciated.
This question is pretty broad considering that you haven't shared any code. Nonetheless, let me point you to a good resource I found very useful getting into MVC programming in PyQt/PySide:
http://www.yasinuludag.com/blog/?p=98
He touches on ListView here and that may give you a better idea of how you can implement custom models and views.
He uses PySide from my recollection. Either ways, PyQt and PySide code are pretty much identical.
Another approach would be to not use QListView but use a QScrollArea and throw in the list items as widgets inside it. Each widget would be standard Qt widgets with a layout, sub widgets and styled as you need. Check this out for a similar scenario: PyQt: How can I create a custom scroll area?
Hope this helps.
I am trying to write a custom widget for the Qt Designer using only Python. I was following a couple of tutorials I found online but none of them were working or anything close to what I would call to be a minimum working example.
So my questions are:
What steps are involved to make a a custom widget appear in the Widget Box of Qt Designer?
If you can spare the time: Please provide a minimum working example (like a widget with a label in it saying "A truly minimal working Qt custom widget example").
Or is it maybe not possible at all to include a custom widget using only python?
There are very few examples available on how to make a custom widget in pyqt. I wrote this article with a working example: Making a Custom Widget in PyQt
Here is the answer to your question #3: How do I use promote to in Qt Designer in pyqt4?
I am using PySide and it works the same way. This method works directly with your Python custom widget code. You do not need to write any separate plugin code.
After you have promoted your custom widget, you can right click on it and add your signals with "Change signals/slots..."
I would recommend putting all you widgets in a YourCostumWidgetsPack.UI file, and then when you load this file in Qt Designer, in addition to the UI you are working. It will load all your custom widget information.
I found this article to be your answer: https://doc.qt.io/archives/qq/qq26-pyqtdesigner.html
But, I haven't been able to install it in Qt Designer though :D
