Let self.win be your widget, then self.win.sizeHint() returns the ideal or 
recommended size of your widget. 
self.win.minimumSizeHint() returns the minimum recommended size. you can set 
these to resize your widget.

Subject: [PyQt] Resizing window to smartly fit the contents
 

Hi,
 
I have a window that contains a composite widget that in turn contains some 
basic widgets and a table view. Depending on different situations, the table 
view can have a little or a lot data. 
 
What I want is for the window to show a reasonable default size when it comes 
up. In other words, when there is a little data, don't show a huge window; when 
there is a lot of data, don't show a tiny window.
 
To make things more complicated, there has to be some minimum and maximum size. 
For example, the window size cannot be bigger than the screen size. But using 
the screen size is not exactly right, because the desktop system occupies part 
of the screen. For example, on Windows, the bottom area of the main screen is 
reserved for the system task bar, and should not be covered by my window, 
whereas on the second screen usuallt one can occupy the whole screen size.
 
I am wondering wat can be done to achieve this.
 
Thanks,
Tom
