PyQt5: Python

[Caeden]

I have a lineEdit:

self.lineEdit = QtWidgets.QLineEdit(Dialog)
                self.lineEdit.setGeometry(QtCore.QRect(20, 10, 541, 61))
                self.lineEdit.setStyleSheet("QLineEdit{\n"
        "    border: 4px solid rgb(37, 39, 48);\n"
        "    border-radius: 30px;\n"
        "    color: black\n"
        "\n"
        "}")
                self.lineEdit.setObjectName("lineEdit")
self.lineEdit.setPlaceholderText("         Message")

I set the placeholder text as Message with lots of spaces because it formats nicer. How Can I make it so that the text where the user inputs starts a little further out? Like an indent/marget.

@Caeden Your question is unclear. Could you explain me better

@eyllanesc

That is the box with the placeholder text (There are lots of spaces)

You see how the Id is intented but the but this is where the text starts isnt? How can I make it so that the but this is where the text starts starts from further along the text box

@Caeden Use textMargins:

import sys
from PyQt5.QtWidgets import QApplication, QLineEdit


def main():
    app = QApplication(sys.argv)
    lineedit = QLineEdit()
    margins = lineedit.textMargins()
    margins.setLeft(50)
    lineedit.setTextMargins(margins)
    lineedit.setText("Qt is awesome!!!")
    lineedit.show()
    sys.exit(app.exec_())


if __name__ == "__main__":
    main()
