💖 PYRCC5 💖

okay bestie, gather round, because pyrcc5 is literally the moment you stop shipping loose files with your app and start bundling them like a queen 👑

✨ NAME ✨

pyrcc5 — compile Qt resource files for PyQt5 applications 🎀

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

pyrcc5 [OPTION]... FILES

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So here's the vibe: pyrcc5 takes a Qt Resource File (.qrc) and converts it into a Python module that you can import straight into your PyQt5 app. No cap. 📦✨

And then the iconic part — every file that Qt loads with a colon in front of it will be pulled from the resources instead of from the actual file system. The way that just... works. Iconic behaviour, honestly. 💅

👑 OPTIONS 👑

  • -help — shows you a lil summary of all the options. a menu of possibilities, if you will 🫶
  • -version — prints the version number and then dips out. exits immediately, no small talk 💀
  • -o FILE — writes the generated output to FILE instead of dumping it to stdout. highly recommend unless you enjoy scrolling 📝
  • -threshold LEVEL — sets the threshold above which files should be compressed. the cutoff line, bestie ⭐
  • -compress LEVEL — sets the compression level for all input files. every single one. no favourites 🌈
  • -root PATH — searches all resources referenced in a .qrc file under PATH 🌳
  • -no-compress — do not compress the resource files at all. just... raw. unbothered. unzipped. 🙈
