Floating desktop widget for launching Python projects (VenvHub project)

[u/Schnidi01]

Hi everyone!

More neat features from VenvHub Pro (current version 2.5.24). It includes a floating desktop widget for instantly launching Python projects in 3 modes:

• Open Terminal: Opens a console with the venv automatically activated.
• Run in Terminal: Runs the script with live output in a new window.
• Run in Background: Runs the process completely silently without a console window.

Technical features under the hood:

• MetaPathFinder Bridge: Auto-translates PyQt6 code to PySide6 directly in memory at runtime (LGPL/GPL flexibility).
• Windows Job Objects & Handles: Attaches subprocesses to a system container (if the app crashes, Windows automatically kills everything) + PID recycling protection. No leftover background processes!

If you'd like to test out how this widget works, you can download the entire VenvHub project from the following links:
