🔒 Encapsulating widgets in Pyside6

[mossy flicker]

Im building a calculator with pyside6 but i can't use the widgets like variables so i have to repeat lines and it just looks a mess

class window(QWidget):
    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__()
        self.setWindowTitle("Calculator")
        self.setMinimumSize(350, 450)
        self.resize(self.minimumSize())

        layoutV = QVBoxLayout()
        
        layoutH1 = QHBoxLayout()
        layoutH2 = QHBoxLayout()
        layoutH3 = QHBoxLayout()
        layoutH4 = QHBoxLayout()

        button7 = QPushButton("7"); button8 = QPushButton("8"); button9 = QPushButton("9"); buttonD = QPushButton("/")
        button4 = QPushButton("4"); button5 = QPushButton("5"); button6 = QPushButton("6"); buttonX = QPushButton("x")
        button1 = QPushButton("1"); button2 = QPushButton("2"); button3 = QPushButton("3"); buttonM = QPushButton("-")
        button0 = QPushButton("0"); buttonO = QPushButton("."); buttonP = QPushButton("+"); buttonE = QPushButton("=")

        layoutH1.addWidget(button7); layoutH1.addWidget(button8); layoutH1.addWidget(button9); layoutH1.addWidget(buttonD)
        layoutH2.addWidget(button6); layoutH2.addWidget(button5); layoutH2.addWidget(button4); layoutH2.addWidget(buttonX)
        layoutH3.addWidget(button1); layoutH3.addWidget(button2); layoutH3.addWidget(button3); layoutH3.addWidget(buttonM)
        layoutH4.addWidget(button0); layoutH4.addWidget(buttonO); layoutH4.addWidget(buttonP); layoutH4.addWidget(buttonE)

        layoutV.addLayout(layoutH1)
        layoutV.addLayout(layoutH2)
        layoutV.addLayout(layoutH3)
        layoutV.addLayout(layoutH4)

Tried changing the size of a bunch of buttons at once but didn't work:

        buttons = button0, button1, button2, button3, button4, button5, button6, button7, button8, button9
        buttons.setFixedSize(40, 40)

Any tips on how i can make the code simpler in general?

You could make a for loop which adds a button and stores it in a list somewhere.

thing is

how would i resize the buttons of that list?

[upbeat wyvern]

You'd do that when making the button in the for loop.

interesting idea

[mossy flicker]

        for i in range(1, 11):
            num += 1
            (button + num) = QPushButton(num)
            button{num}.setFixedSize(40, 40)

the syntax is wrong but i imagine i would be something in this line of thinking right?

[mossy flicker]

        num = 0
        buttton = QPushButton("0")

        for i in range(1, 4):
            num += 1
            buttton = QPushButton(f"{num}")
            buttton.setFixedSize(40, 40)
            layoutH1.addWidget(buttton)

        num = 3

        for i in range(4, 7):
            num += 1
            buttton = QPushButton(f"{num}")
            buttton.setFixedSize(40, 40)
            layoutH2.addWidget(buttton)

        num = 7

        for i in range(7, 10):
            num += 1
            buttton = QPushButton(f"{num}")
            buttton.setFixedSize(40, 40)
            layoutH3.addWidget(buttton)

figured out kinda

thx for the help!

[upbeat wyvern]

Yeah, that's close enough.
