How can I link to a webpage in a window using pyqt4?

I have a problem. Can I make a link on a web page in the window and when the user clicks on it, the web page will open in the browser. For example:

import sys
from PyQt4 import QtGui, QtCore

app = QtGui.QApplication(sys.argv)
main = QtGui.QWidget()
main.setGeometry(200, 200, 200, 100)
label = QtGui.QLabel('<a href="http://stackoverflow.com/">Stackoverflow/</a>')
box = QtGui.QVBoxLayout()
box.addWidget(label)
main.setLayout(box)

main.show()
sys.exit(app.exec_())

      

It's really?

Of course you found the answer, but there is a special class that allows you to open a URL in the browser or default files in the default editors / players, etc. This is QDesktopServices

. For example:

from PyQt5.QtGui import QDesktopServices
from PyQt5.QtCore import QUrl

class MainWindow(QMainWindow, Ui_MainWindow):
    def link(self, linkStr):

        QDesktopServices.openUrl(QUrl(linkStr))

    def __init__(self):
        super(MainWindow, self).__init__()

        # Set up the user interface from Designer.
        self.setupUi(self)
        self.label.linkActivated.connect(self.link)
        self.label.setText('<a href="http://stackoverflow.com/">Stackoverflow/</a>')

      



This example is definitely more, but you should be aware of QDesktopServices

because it is a very useful class.

Unfortunately. I was already looking for an answer.



label.setText('<a href="http://stackoverflow.com/">Link</a>')
label.setOpenExternalLinks(True)
