Python Qt6 : simple animation with sprites.

Today I created with addon for Blender 3D and result is an image with sprites ...

I used that image with sprites and PyQt6 to animate my desktop screen, see the result:

This is the source code I used:

import sys
from PyQt6.QtWidgets import QApplication, QLabel, QWidget, QVBoxLayout, QMenu

# diff PyQt6 versus old PyQt
from PyQt6.QtGui import QAction

from PyQt6.QtGui import QPixmap, QIcon
from PyQt6.QtCore import QTimer, Qt

class AnimatedWindow(QWidget):
    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__()

        # set window
        self.setWindowFlags(Qt.WindowType.FramelessWindowHint | Qt.WindowType.WindowStaysOnTopHint)
        self.setAttribute(Qt.WidgetAttribute.WA_TranslucentBackground)

        # build layout 
        layout = QVBoxLayout()
        self.label = QLabel(self)
        layout.addWidget(self.label)
        self.setLayout(layout)

        # load sprite sheet from Camera_256px.png file name
        sprite_sheet = QPixmap("Camera_256px.png")  
        self.frame_width = sprite_sheet.width() // 11  # because I have 11 sprite on image
        self.sprites = [sprite_sheet.copy(i * self.frame_width, 0, self.frame_width, sprite_sheet.height()) for i in range(11)]
        self.current_frame = 0

        # 
        self.timer = QTimer()
        self.timer.timeout.connect(self.update_animation)
        self.timer.start(150)  # Schimbă frame-ul la fiecare 150 ms

        # 
        self.resize(self.frame_width, sprite_sheet.height())

        # left down on screen 
        screen = QApplication.primaryScreen().geometry()
        self.move(10, screen.height() - self.height() - 10)

    def update_animation(self):
        """Actualizează sprite-ul în QLabel"""
        self.label.setPixmap(self.sprites[self.current_frame])
        self.current_frame = (self.current_frame + 1) % len(self.sprites)

if __name__ == "__main__":
    app = QApplication(sys.argv)
    window = AnimatedWindow()
    window.show()
    sys.exit(app.exec())

Python 3.11.11 : Colab simple image to video with stabilityai - part 052.

Today, a simple test with artificial intelligence and stabilityai/stable-video-diffusion-img2vid-xt.

The result is not very good, but I believe the source code can be improved ...

pipe = StableVideoDiffusionPipeline.from_pretrained(
    'stabilityai/stable-video-diffusion-img2vid-xt',
    torch_dtype=torch.float16,
    variant='fp16'
)

pipe.enable_model_cpu_offload()

You can find the source code on my colab GitHUb projects - catafest_069.

Python 3.13.3 : ... Nuitka package works with python 3.12 and MinGW.

Nuitka is licensed under the Apache License, Version 2.0; you may not use it except in compliance with the License.

Nuitka is the Python compiler. It is written in Python. It is a seamless replacement or extension to the Python interpreter and compiles every construct that Python 2 (2.6, 2.7) and Python 3 (3.4 - 3.13) have, when itself run with that Python version.

Nuitka translates the Python modules into a C level program that then uses libpython and static C files of its own to execute in the same way as CPython does.

I used the pip command:

python -m pip install -U nuitka

I need to upgrade my version to 3.13.3 version today after I open an issue on github repo!

... and this python version works well with MinGW, the artificial intelligence used to fix these errors was ChatGPT.

News : Pydantic Releases Sandboxed Python Execution Server.

Pydantic officially announced its broader support for the MCP within the PydanticAI framework around March 20, and now the new tool leverages the Model Context Protocol (MCP), an open standard initiated by Anthropic.

The server achieves isolation by executing code using Pyodide, a Python runtime compiled to WebAssembly.

give AI agents the ability to perform Python-based tasks safely

You can find the Pydantic’s documentation for the tool, available at ai.pydantic.dev .

The Model Context Protocol itself try to solve difficulties in connecting AI models to the diverse external tools and data sources they often need.

Python 3.13.0rc1 : pig for AI-powered automation.

Pig is an API for AI-powered automation of Windows desktop applications and workflows. It allows AI agents to remotely navigate user interfaces and interact with software on Windows computers, even for applications without public APIs. Organizations might use Pig to automate complex, repetitive tasks involving legacy enterprise software, overcome limitations of traditional robotic process automation tools, and reduce the need for manual data handling by human workers.

I go to machine chat and I ask to create a source script in python for test the artificial intelligence.

It looks like you're encountering an error with the Pig API. The error message indicates that the API key hasn't been set properly. To resolve this issue, you need to set the PIG_SECRET_KEY environment variable or pass the API key directly to the Client constructor when initializing the Pig client. Would you like me to help you with setting up the environment variable or modifying your code to include the API key in the Client constructor? yes , I need a python script example

I tested this GitHub project from THUDM user on my colab google account and works well with CogVideoX-5B model.

You can find the default implementation on my colab GitHub repo.

The default example comes with thjs prompt:

prompt = ( "A panda, dressed in a small, red jacket and a tiny hat, sits on a wooden stool in a serene bamboo forest. " "The panda's fluffy paws strum a miniature acoustic guitar, producing soft, melodic tunes. Nearby, a few other " "pandas gather, watching curiously and some clapping in rhythm. Sunlight filters through the tall bamboo, " "casting a gentle glow on the scene. The panda's face is expressive, showing concentration and joy as it plays. " "The background includes a small, flowing stream and vibrant green foliage, enhancing the peaceful and magical " "atmosphere of this unique musical performance." )

The speed of rendering starts from :

38% ... 19/50 [30:54<50:57, 98.61s/it] using T4 GPU

... then run at :

100% ... 50/50 [1:26:09<00:00, 109.87s/it]

when the video render was 100% somehow google give this error, but the source code run well:

OutOfMemoryError: CUDA out of memory. Tried to allocate 1.32 GiB. GPU 0 has a total capacity of 14.74 GiB of which 654.12 MiB is free. Process 26970 has 14.10 GiB memory in use. Of the allocated memory 12.97 GiB is allocated by PyTorch, and 1.00 GiB is reserved by PyTorch but unallocated. If reserved but unallocated memory is large try setting PYTORCH_CUDA_ALLOC_CONF=expandable_segments:True to avoid fragmentation. See documentation for Memory Management (https://pytorch.org/docs/stable/notes/cuda.html#environment-variables)

I think is need to set some extra memory on CUDA but this require to parse some documentation and is not a task for me now.
