PyQt5 QCalendarWidget - Getting Meta object of it

In PyQt5, every QObject-derived class has an associated meta-object. The meta-object contains information about the object's class, such as the class name, its superclasses, its signals and slots, and so on.

You can get the meta-object of any QObject (including QCalendarWidget, since it's a QWidget and QWidget inherits from QObject) using the metaObject() method.

Here's how you can retrieve and use the meta-object of a QCalendarWidget:

from PyQt5.QtWidgets import QApplication, QMainWindow, QCalendarWidget import sys class CalendarExample(QMainWindow): def __init__(self): super().__init__() self.calendar = QCalendarWidget(self) self.setCentralWidget(self.calendar) meta_obj = self.calendar.metaObject() # Print some information from the meta-object print("Class Name:", meta_obj.className()) for i in range(meta_obj.propertyCount()): print("Property:", meta_obj.property(i).name()) if __name__ == '__main__': app = QApplication(sys.argv) window = CalendarExample() window.show() sys.exit(app.exec_())

In this example, we retrieve the meta-object of the QCalendarWidget instance and then print its class name and all property names.

Keep in mind that the meta-object is primarily used for Qt's introspection capabilities, especially in relation to the signal-slot mechanism. Most everyday PyQt5 tasks won't require you to interact directly with the meta-object.
