How to return mouse coordinates in realtime?

Question

I\'m new to PyQt and I\'m trying to use it to create a widget that returns the position of the mouse in real time.

Here\'s what I have:

import sys
fr

The QMouseEvent function must be implemented since it is executed when the mouse is moved.

import sys
from PyQt5.QtWidgets import (QApplication, QLabel, QWidget)


class MouseTracker(QWidget):
    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__()
        self.initUI()
        self.setMouseTracking(True)

    def initUI(self):
        self.setGeometry(300, 300, 300, 200)
        self.setWindowTitle('Mouse Tracker')
        self.label = QLabel(self)
        self.label.resize(200, 40)
        self.show()

    def mouseMoveEvent(self, event):
        self.label.setText('Mouse coords: ( %d : %d )' % (event.x(), event.y()))


if __name__ == '__main__':
    app = QApplication(sys.argv)
    ex = MouseTracker()
    sys.exit(app.exec_())
