## 🔹 Practical Example: Weather App

class WeatherApp(QMainWindow):
    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__()
        self.api_key = "YOUR_API_KEY"
        self.setup_ui()
        self.setup_network()
    
    def setup_ui(self):
        self.setWindowTitle(self.tr("Weather App"))
        
        # Location Input
        self.location_input = QLineEdit()
        search_btn = QPushButton(self.tr("Search"))
        search_btn.clicked.connect(self.fetch_weather)
        
        # Weather Display
        self.weather_icon = QLabel()
        self.weather_icon.setAlignment(Qt.AlignCenter)
        
        self.temp_label = QLabel()
        self.temp_label.setAlignment(Qt.AlignCenter)
        font = self.temp_label.font()
        font.setPointSize(48)
        self.temp_label.setFont(font)
        
        self.details_label = QLabel()
        self.details_label.setAlignment(Qt.AlignCenter)
        
        # Layout
        input_layout = QHBoxLayout()
        input_layout.addWidget(self.location_input)
        input_layout.addWidget(search_btn)
        
        main_layout = QVBoxLayout()
        main_layout.addLayout(input_layout)
        main_layout.addWidget(self.weather_icon)
        main_layout.addWidget(self.temp_label)
        main_layout.addWidget(self.details_label)
        
        container = QWidget()
        container.setLayout(main_layout)
        self.setCentralWidget(container)
    
    def setup_network(self):
        self.manager = QNetworkAccessManager()
        self.manager.finished.connect(self.handle_weather_response)
        
        self.icon_manager = QNetworkAccessManager()
        self.icon_manager.finished.connect(self.handle_icon_response)
    
    def fetch_weather(self):
        location = self.location_input.text()
        if not location:
            return
            
        url = f"https://api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/weather?q={location}&appid={self.api_key}&units=metric"
        self.manager.get(QNetworkRequest(QUrl(url)))
    
    def handle_weather_response(self, reply):
        if reply.error():
            QMessageBox.warning(self, self.tr("Error"), 
                              self.tr("Failed to fetch weather data"))
            return
            
        data = json.loads(reply.readAll().data().decode('utf-8'))
        
        # Update UI
        temp = data['main']['temp']
        self.temp_label.setText(f"{temp}°C")
        
        denoscription = data['weather'][0]['denoscription'].capitalize()
        humidity = data['main']['humidity']
        wind = data['wind']['speed']
        self.details_label.setText(
            self.tr(f"{denoscription}\nHumidity: {humidity}%\nWind: {wind} m/s"))
        
        # Fetch weather icon
        icon_code = data['weather'][0]['icon']
        icon_url = f"https://openweathermap.org/img/wn/{icon_code}@2x.png"
        self.icon_manager.get(QNetworkRequest(QUrl(icon_url)))
    
    def handle_icon_response(self, reply):
        if not reply.error():
            pixmap = QPixmap()
            pixmap.loadFromData(reply.readAll())
            self.weather_icon.setPixmap(pixmap.scaledToWidth(100))

---

## 🔹 Best Practices
1. Handle network errors gracefully - Always check reply.error()
2. Clean up resources - Call deleteLater() on network objects
3. Cache API responses - Reduce unnecessary network calls
4. Use QThread for intensive operations - Keep UI responsive
5. Test translations thoroughly - Verify all UI elements adapt

# 📚 PyQt5 Tutorial - Part 6/6: Advanced Architecture & Optimization
#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.

---

## 🔹 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"))

---

## 🔹 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}")
        
    def name(self):
        return "Weather Plugin"

### 2. Dynamic UI Integration

class PluginWidget(QWidget):
    def __init__(self, plugin, parent=None):
        super().__init__(parent)
        self.plugin = plugin
        self.setup_ui()
        
    def setup_ui(self):
        layout = QVBoxLayout()
        noscript = QLabel(f"Plugin: {self.plugin.name()}")
        noscript.setStyleSheet("font-weight: bold; font-size: 16px;")
        
        # Let plugin provide its UI
        plugin_ui = self.plugin.get_ui()
        
        layout.addWidget(noscript)
        layout.addWidget(plugin_ui)
        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())

---

## 🔹 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):
        super().addTab(QLabel("Loading..."), label)
        self.setTabData(self.count()-1, widget)
    
    def _load_current_tab(self, index):
        if index not in self._loaded_tabs:
            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")

---

## 🔹 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")
        else:  # Linux/Unix
            return os.path.expanduser("~/.config/MyApp")

    @staticmethod
    def open_file_browser(path):
        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([])
app.setAttribute(Qt.AA_UseStyleSheetPropagationInWidgetStyles, True)

### 3. Dark Mode Detection

def is_dark_mode():
    if sys.platform == "darwin":
        # MacOS dark mode detection
        process = subprocess.Popen(
            ["defaults", "read", "-g", "AppleInterfaceStyle"],
            stdout=subprocess.PIPE, stderr=subprocess.PIPE)
        out, _ = process.communicate()
        return out.strip() == b"Dark"
    elif sys.platform == "win32":
        # Windows 10+ dark mode detection
        try:
            import winreg
            key = winreg.OpenKey(
                winreg.HKEY_CURRENT_USER,
                r"Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Themes\Personalize")
            value, _ = winreg.QueryValueEx(key, "AppsUseLightTheme")
            return value == 0
        except:
            return False
    else:
        return False  # Default to light mode on other platforms

---

## 🔹 Practical Example: Plugin-Based Text Editor

class TextEditor(QMainWindow):
    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__()
        self.plugins = []
        self.setup_ui()
        self.load_plugins()
    
    def setup_ui(self):
        # Core editor
        self.editor = QPlainTextEdit()
        self.setCentralWidget(self.editor)
        
        # Plugin toolbar
        self.plugin_toolbar = QToolBar("Plugins")
        self.addToolBar(Qt.LeftToolBarArea, self.plugin_toolbar)
        
        # Plugin menu
        self.plugin_menu = self.menuBar().addMenu("Plugins")
    
    def load_plugins(self):
        plugin_dir = os.path.join(os.path.dirname(__file__), "plugins")
        if not os.path.exists(plugin_dir):
            return
            
        for filename in os.listdir(plugin_dir):
            if filename.endswith('.py'):
                try:
                    spec = importlib.util.spec_from_file_location(
                        f"plugins.{filename[:-3]}", 
                        os.path.join(plugin_dir, filename))
                    module = importlib.util.module_from_spec(spec)
                    spec.loader.exec_module(module)
                    
                    for name, obj in inspect.getmembers(module):
                        if (inspect.isclass(obj) and 
                            issubclass(obj, BasePlugin) and 
                            obj != BasePlugin):
                            plugin = obj(self)
                            plugin.initialize()
                            self.plugins.append(plugin)
                            
                            # Add to UI
                            if hasattr(plugin, 'get_toolbar_widget'):
                                self.plugin_toolbar.addWidget(
                                    plugin.get_toolbar_widget())
                            if hasattr(plugin, 'get_menu_action'):
                                self.plugin_menu.addAction(
                                    plugin.get_menu_action())
                except Exception as e:
                    print(f"Failed to load plugin {filename}: {e}")

class BasePlugin:
    def __init__(self, editor):
        self.editor = editor
        
    def initialize(self):
        raise NotImplementedError
