I have noticed that there is a bug in QDateEdit widget, I am using Qt Designer 5.15.2 to design QPushButton, QDateEdit and QLineEdit with python 3.9.2:
you will notice that when you try to type this specific date: 2021-03-26 by keyboard, it will be rejected (in my case it sat to 2021-03-01)Code:
from PyQt5.QtWidgets import * from PyQt5.uic import loadUiType import sys Ui_MainWindow,_ = loadUiType('tst.ui') def __init__(self): self.setupUi(self) self.btn.clicked.connect(self.enterDATE) #QPushButton signal def enterDATE(self): Date_2021_03_26 = "{0}-{1}-{2}".format(self.deDateEdit.date().year(), self.deDateEdit.date().month(), self.deDateEdit.date().day()) #QDateEdit self.LineEdit.setText(Date_2021_03_26) #QLineEdit def main(): win = TEST() win.show() app.exec_() if __name__ == '__main__': main()
if you try other dates (try change the year, month and day) it will accept them. why this happened only for this date 2021-03-26?
note that: if you use the updown arrows to type(select) the date, it will accept the date 2021-03-26
I hope someone help me to understand the reason.
