Question

I am making a game and want to check if a LineEdit is empty. What are some ways I can achieve this?

The .text property contains whatever has been entered, so if it’s empty, it should be "". If your label is called foo, you can:

if foo.text.is_empty():
    print("nothing!")
else:
    print("something: '%s'" % text.label)

if $LineEdit.text.is_empty():
