# qt-show-dialog
[](https://pypi.python.org/pypi/qt-show-dialog)
[](https://github.com/joaonc/show_dialog/blob/main/LICENSE.txt)
Easily show a dialog window for miscellaneous purposes
([features](https://joaonc.github.io/show_dialog/#features)).
----
The initial use case is to show instructions in manual steps in tests.
Uses [Qt 6](https://www.qt.io) and [Qt for Python](https://wiki.qt.io/Qt_for_Python), aka _PySide_,
which includes _Qt Designer_, a WYSIWYG UI editor.
## Getting started
Documentation: [https://joaonc.github.io/show_dialog](https://joaonc.github.io/show_dialog/)
### Installation
```
pip install qt-show-dialog
```
It can be used as a package or in the CLI with the `show_dialog` command.
Can also be used as an [executable app](https://joaonc.github.io/show_dialog/#executable-app) with
no dependencies (ie, no need for Python or a virtual environment).
### Example
[](https://joaonc.github.io/show_dialog/#example)
Inputs that generated the dialog 👆
```yaml
dialog_title: Manual step
title: Disconnect cable
description: |
In this step we need to disconnect the power cable
and verify that the reserve battery gets discharged
within 5 seconds.
## Steps
1. Disconnect power cable.
It's in the back.
2. Wait 5 seconds.
3. Check that reserve battery is empty.
See below for more info.
## Verifying battery is discharged
There's a red light that goes off.
**Do not touch** the button next to that light.
More info on that light [here](#some-path).
description_md: true
timeout: 20
```
