Keeping the aspect ratio of a sub-classed QWidget during resize

Question

I\'m creating a new widget, by subclassing the QWidget class. I\'d like to be able to set a ratio (for its height and its width) for this widget, which will always be mainta

I have rewritten Anthony's code in Python/PySide2:

from PySide2.QtWidgets import QBoxLayout, QSpacerItem, QWidget


class AspectRatioWidget(QWidget):
    def __init__(self, widget, parent):
        super().__init__(parent)
        self.aspect_ratio = widget.size().width() / widget.size().height()
        self.setLayout(QBoxLayout(QBoxLayout.LeftToRight, self))
        #  add spacer, then widget, then spacer
        self.layout().addItem(QSpacerItem(0, 0))
        self.layout().addWidget(widget)
        self.layout().addItem(QSpacerItem(0, 0))

    def resizeEvent(self, e):
        w = e.size().width()
        h = e.size().height()

        if w / h > self.aspect_ratio:  # too wide
            self.layout().setDirection(QBoxLayout.LeftToRight)
            widget_stretch = h * self.aspect_ratio
            outer_stretch = (w - widget_stretch) / 2 + 0.5
        else:  # too tall
            self.layout().setDirection(QBoxLayout.TopToBottom)
            widget_stretch = w / self.aspect_ratio
            outer_stretch = (h - widget_stretch) / 2 + 0.5

        self.layout().setStretch(0, outer_stretch)
        self.layout().setStretch(1, widget_stretch)
        self.layout().setStretch(2, outer_stretch)
