In this lesson we are going to learn How to Create Calendar in Python & PyQt6, for creating of calendar in python & pyqt6 we are going to use QCalendarWidget class, so the QCalendarWidget class provides a monthly based calendar widget allowing the user to select a date , The widget is initialized with the current month and year, but QCalendarWidget provides several public slots or methods to change the year and month that is shown.

There are different methods that you can use.
- selectedDate(): This method returns the currently selected date. The date is
returned as a QDate object. - monthShown(): This method returns the currently displayed month.
- yearShown(): This method returns the currently displayed year.
- setFirstDayOfWeek(): This method is used to set the day of the week in the
first column. - selectionChanged(): This method is emitted when the user changes the
currently selected date.

from PyQt6.QtWidgets import QApplication, QWidget, QLabel, QCalendarWidget ,QVBoxLayout from PyQt6.QtGui import QIcon, QFont import sys class Window(QWidget): def __init__(self): super().__init__() self.setGeometry(200, 200, 700, 400) self.setWindowTitle("PyQt6 QCalendarWidget") self.setWindowIcon(QIcon('python.png')) vbox = QVBoxLayout() self.calendar = QCalendarWidget() self.calendar.setGridVisible(True) self.calendar.selectionChanged.connect(self.calendar_date) self.label = QLabel("Hello") self.label.setFont(QFont("Sanserif", 15)) self.label.setStyleSheet('color:green') vbox.addWidget(self.calendar) vbox.addWidget(self.label) self.setLayout(vbox) def calendar_date(self): dateselected = self.calendar.selectedDate() date_in_string = str(dateselected.toPyDate()) self.label.setText("Date Is : " + date_in_string) app = QApplication(sys.argv) window = Window() window.show() sys.exit(app.exec()) |
In here we have crate vertical box layout using QVBoxLayout.
|
1 |
vbox = QVBoxLayout() |
We have created the object of QCalendarWidget, also we have added the grid for the
calendar.
|
1 2 |
self.calendar = QCalendarWidget() self.calendar.setGridVisible(True) |
In here we have connected the selectionChanged signal of QCalendarWidget with the method that we are going to create.
|
1 |
self.calendar.selectionChanged.connect(self.calendar_date) |
In this method we have received the selected date from the calendar and after that we have set that in the label.
|
1 2 3 4 5 |
def calendar_date(self): dateselected = self.calendar.selectedDate() date_in_string = str(dateselected.toPyDate()) self.label.setText("Date Is : " + date_in_string) |
Run the complete code and this will be the result.
