PyQt5 QDateEdit - Getting Minimum Date which user can enter

To get the minimum date that a user can enter in a QDateEdit widget in PyQt5, you can use the minimumDate() method.

Here's a simple example demonstrating how to set and then get the minimum date for a QDateEdit widget:

import sys from PyQt5.QtWidgets import QApplication, QWidget, QVBoxLayout, QDateEdit, QLabel from PyQt5.QtCore import QDate class App(QWidget): def __init__(self): super().__init__() self.initUI() def initUI(self): layout = QVBoxLayout(self) self.date_edit = QDateEdit(self) # Set the minimum date to January 1, 2020 self.date_edit.setMinimumDate(QDate(2020, 1, 1)) layout.addWidget(self.date_edit) # Add a button click to retrieve the minimum date self.date_edit.dateChanged.connect(self.onDateChanged) self.label = QLabel(self) layout.addWidget(self.label) self.setLayout(layout) self.show() def onDateChanged(self, date): # Retrieve and display the minimum date min_date = self.date_edit.minimumDate() self.label.setText(f"Minimum date user can enter: {min_date.toString()}") if __name__ == '__main__': app = QApplication(sys.argv) ex = App() sys.exit(app.exec_()) 

In this example, after setting the minimum date to January 1, 2020, the onDateChanged slot will display the minimum date that the user can enter every time the date in the QDateEdit widget changes.
