PyQt: Always on top

by

Pass the QMainWindow the WindowStaysOnTopHint window flag (or use setWindowFlags).

As in the name, this is a hint to the windowing manager (not a hard guarantee).

Simplest possible example:

import sys
from PyQt4 import QtGui, QtCore

class mymainwindow(QtGui.QMainWindow):
    def __init__(self):
        QtGui.QMainWindow.__init__(self, None, QtCore.Qt.WindowStaysOnTopHint)

app = QtGui.QApplication(sys.argv)
mywindow = mymainwindow()
mywindow.show()
app.exec_()
