if reply.error():
self.error_occurred.emit(reply.errorString())
else:
data = reply.readAll().data().decode('utf-8')
self.response_received.emit(data)
reply.deleteLater()
# Usage
client = ApiClient()
client.response_received.connect(lambda data: print("Received:", data))

### 1. Plugin Architecture
#PyQt5 #AdvancedPatterns #PluginSystem #Performance #CrossPlatform
Welcome to the final installment of our PyQt5 series! This comprehensive lesson explores professional architectural patterns, plugin systems, performance optimization, and cross-platform development strategies.
---
## πΉ Advanced Architectural Patterns
### 1. Model-View-ViewModel (MVVM)
from PyQt5.QtCore import QObject, pyqtProperty, pyqtSignal
class ViewModel(QObject):
data_changed = pyqtSignal()
def __init__(self):
super().__init__()
self._username = ""
self._password = ""
@pyqtProperty(str, notify=data_changed)
def username(self):
return self._username
@username.setter
def username(self, value):
if self._username != value:
self._username = value
self.data_changed.emit()
@pyqtProperty(str, notify=data_changed)
def password(self):
return self._password
@password.setter
def password(self, value):
if self._password != value:
self._password = value
self.data_changed.emit()
# View binds to ViewModel properties
view_model = ViewModel()
username_edit = QLineEdit()
username_edit.textChanged.connect(view_model.setUsername)
view_model.data_changed.connect(
lambda: username_edit.setText(view_model.username))
### 2. Dependency Injection Container
class Container:
_instance = None
def __init__(self):
self._services = {}
def register(self, name, service):
self._services[name] = service
def resolve(self, name):
return self._services.get(name)
@classmethod
def instance(cls):
if cls._instance is None:
cls._instance = Container()
return cls._instance
# Usage
container = Container.instance()
container.register('database', DatabaseService())
container.register('api', ApiClient())
# In other classes
db_service = container.resolve('database')
### 3. Event Bus Pattern
from PyQt5.QtCore import QObject, pyqtSignal
class EventBus(QObject):
app_started = pyqtSignal()
user_logged_in = pyqtSignal(str) # username
data_loaded = pyqtSignal(dict)
_instance = None
@classmethod
def instance(cls):
if cls._instance is None:
cls._instance = EventBus()
return cls._instance
# Publisher
EventBus.instance().user_logged_in.emit("john_doe")
# Subscriber
EventBus.instance().user_logged_in.connect(
lambda username: print(f"User {username} logged in"))
---
## πΉ Plugin System Implementation
### 1. Plugin Architecture
# Plugin Interface
class IPlugin:
def initialize(self, app):
raise NotImplementedError
def name(self):
raise NotImplementedError
# Main Application
class Application:
def __init__(self):
self.plugins = []
def load_plugins(self, plugin_dir):
for filename in os.listdir(plugin_dir):
if filename.endswith('.py'):
module_name = filename[:-3]
spec = importlib.util.spec_from_file_location(
module_name, os.path.join(plugin_dir, filename))
module = importlib.util.module_from_spec(spec)
spec.loader.exec_module(module)
for item in dir(module):
obj = getattr(module, item)
if (isinstance(obj, type) and
issubclass(obj, IPlugin) and
obj != IPlugin):
plugin = obj()
plugin.initialize(self)
self.plugins.append(plugin)
# Example Plugin
class WeatherPlugin(IPlugin):
def initialize(self, app):
self.app = app
print(f"WeatherPlugin initialized for {app}")

### 2. Dynamic UI Integration
---
## πΉ Performance Optimization
### 1. Lazy Loading
### 2. Efficient Data Handling
### 3. Memory Management
---
## πΉ Cross-Platform Considerations
### 1. Platform-Specific Code
### 2. High DPI Support
class PluginWidget(QWidget):
def __init__(self, plugin, parent=None):
super().__init__(parent)
self.plugin = plugin
self.setup_ui()
def setup_ui(self):
layout = QVBoxLayout()

self.setLayout(layout)
# In main window
def load_plugin_uis(self):
for plugin in self.app.plugins:
tab = self.plugin_tabs.addTab(
PluginWidget(plugin), plugin.name())
---
## πΉ Performance Optimization
### 1. Lazy Loading
class LazyTabWidget(QTabWidget):
def __init__(self):
super().__init__()
self._loaded_tabs = set()
self.currentChanged.connect(self._load_current_tab)
def addTab(self, widget, label):

widget = self.tabData(index)
self._loaded_tabs.add(index)
self.removeTab(index)
self.insertTab(index, widget, widget.windowTitle())
self.setCurrentIndex(index)
### 2. Efficient Data Handling
class LargeDataModel(QAbstractTableModel):
def __init__(self, data_source):
super().__init__()
self._data_source = data_source # Should implement chunked loading
def rowCount(self, parent=None):
return self._data_source.total_rows()
def columnCount(self, parent=None):
return self._data_source.total_columns()
def data(self, index, role=Qt.DisplayRole):
if not index.isValid() or role != Qt.DisplayRole:
return None
# Load only visible data
if self._data_source.is_loaded(index.row(), index.column()):
return self._data_source.get_data(index.row(), index.column())
else:
# Trigger background loading
self._data_source.request_data(index.row(), index.column())
return "Loading..."
### 3. Memory Management
class ResourceManager:
_instance = None
def __init__(self):
self._resources = {}
self._cache = LRUCache(maxsize=100) # Custom LRU cache
def get_image(self, path):
if path in self._cache:
return self._cache[path]
pixmap = QPixmap(path)
if not pixmap.isNull():
self._cache[path] = pixmap
return pixmap
return None
def cleanup(self):
self._cache.clear()
# Usage
image = ResourceManager.instance().get_image("large_image.png")
---
## πΉ Cross-Platform Considerations
### 1. Platform-Specific Code
class PlatformUtils:
@staticmethod
def get_config_path():
if sys.platform == "win32":
return os.path.join(os.environ["APPDATA"], "MyApp")
elif sys.platform == "darwin":
return os.path.expanduser("~/Library/Application Support/MyApp")

if sys.platform == "win32":
os.startfile(path)
elif sys.platform == "darwin":
subprocess.run(["open", path])
else:
subprocess.run(["xdg-open", path])
### 2. High DPI Support
if hasattr(Qt, 'AA_EnableHighDpiScaling'):
QApplication.setAttribute(Qt.AA_EnableHighDpiScaling, True)
if hasattr(Qt, 'AA_UseHighDpiPixmaps'):
QApplication.setAttribute(Qt.AA_UseHighDpiPixmaps, True)
# In main QApplication
app = QApplication([])
