[Python] PyQt6 issue in fetching geometry of the window

I am currently learning the PyQt6 library and I want to get the geometry of the window. The issue is that the x and y positions are always 0 even after I changed the position of the window on the screen.

• OS: Ubuntu
• Python version: 3.9

import sys
from PyQt6.QtWidgets import QApplication, QVBoxLayout, QPushButton, QWidget
from PyQt6.QtCore import QTimer

class MainWindow(QWidget):
def __init__(self):
super().__init__()
self.resize(200, 300)
self.setWindowTitle("Main Window")
layout = QVBoxLayout()
btn = QPushButton("Click", self)
btn.clicked.connect(self.print_geometry)
layout.addWidget(btn)
self.setLayout(layout)

self.show()

def print_geometry(self):
print(self.geometry()) # This will now print the correct geometry

if __name__ == '__main__':
app = QApplication(sys.argv)
win = MainWindow()
sys.exit(app.exec())



Output:

PyQt6.QtCore.QRect(0, 0, 200, 300)
PyQt6.QtCore.QRect(0, 0, 200, 300)
PyQt6.QtCore.QRect(0, 0, 200, 300)
PyQt6.QtCore.QRect(0, 0, 200, 300)


I don't know why it is returning 0 for x and y positions. It should have returned the exact position.
