Introduction

In this project, I created a graphical interface query system for the World Cup tournament. I used PyQt5 library module for graphical interface design, socket library for network connection and data transfer, sqlite3 library for data storage, re library for input format correctness, os library for file path reading and sys library for process exit. I also use basic common programming methods such as multi-threading, object-oriented programming, string manipulation, and custom functions.

I also designed a web crawler file, using the webdriver module in the selenium library, while using the pyautogui library that can control the cursor movement, with the re library to get the content of the web page and the time library to simulate the response time, these do assist in crawling.

Since the web crawler requires third-party libraries and corresponding drivers, the environment is more complicated to configure, so I separate the web crawler files from the server-side files, and the crawled data is manually added into the database by me.

Installation

Basic Configuration

To install PyQt5, you can use the follow command in terminal:

pip install PyQt5

If you want to design UI more convenient, you can also install PyQt5-tools:

pip install PyQt5-tools

If you have a higher version of python, you may not be able to use the tools.

Document Conversion Method

Then you need to configure the following three tools: Qt Designer、PyRcc、PyUIC. If you do not like to do this, just check them installation path and use them when you need.

If you want to convert .ui file to .py file, you can enter the current directory of the ui file then input the following in the PowerShell command line:

pyuic5 $FileName$ -o $FileNameWithoutExtension$.py

For example:

pyuic5 interface.ui -o interface.py

If you want to convert .qrc file to .py file, you can enter the current directory of the qrc file then input the following in the PowerShell command line:

pyrcc5 $FileName$ -o $FileNameWithoutExtension$.py

For example:

pyrcc5 Source.qrc -o Image.py

---

Webcrawler Configuration

In order to run the crawler file, you need to additionally install the following.

pip install pyautogui
pip install selenium

Then you also need to download a browser driver file. For example, the Edge download path is Microsoft Edge WebDriver - Microsoft Edge Developer.

Download the version you choose, unpack it and put the files in the Scripts folder of the Python installation directory.

---

Project packaged as an application

To package the entire project file as an application .exe file, we can use PyInstaller, a third-party library.

pip install pyinstaller

Client-side and server-side packaging can be done by executing the following code using the console in the project's directory.

pyinstaller -D -w client.py

pyinstaller -D server.py
