That's cool. I just found the book provided the right level of detail for
me to start using QtDesigner with my projects. I can't speak for PyQt5 but
I don't see the concepts have changed much over the past 5 or so years.
Agreed though, if you're brand new to python and are only familiar with
python3 then typing in the code verbatim (python2 style) may cause you
problems that frustrate the learning process.
