Aquileo | Corona Virus Details in India - Using Python PyQt5

In this article, we will see how we can create a PyQt5 application that tells about the details of coronavirus cases i.e total cases, recovered cases and total deaths across India i.e state wise result.

Modules required and Installation: PyQt5 : PyQt is a Python binding of the cross-platform GUI toolkit Qt, implemented as a Python plug-in. PyQt is free software developed by the British firm Riverbank Computing. Requests : Requests allows you to send HTTP/1.1 requests extremely easily. There’s no need to manually add query strings to your URLs. Beautiful Soup: Beautiful Soup is a library that makes it easy to scrape information from web pages. It sits atop an HTML or XML parser, providing Pythonic idioms for iterating, searching, and modifying the parse tree.

Implementations steps : 1. Get coronavirus state wise list and store it in a list 2. Create a non-editable combo box, set its geometry 3. From list get the state names and add it to the combo box 4. Create three labels to show information about total cases, recovered cases and death cases 5. Set geometry, alignment and border to each label 6. Add action to the combo box 7. Inside the action filter the list to get desired information 8. Show the output the screen with the help of labels

Below is the implementation
