A simple base64 converter Python application

Well, it’s certainly not sophisticated. But since the goal was to help me brushing up before tackling more complicated projects, guess it quite alright. I can’t remember the last time I actually do serious coding

#!/usr/bin/env python
from PyQt4 import QtCore, QtGui
from PyQt4.QtGui import *
from PyQt4.QtCore import SIGNAL
from base64 import b64encode, b64decode
import sys

class FormUtama(QtGui.QMainWindow):
    def __init__(self):
        QMainWindow.__init__(self)
        self.setWindowTitle("Konverter base64")
        self.setFixedSize(400,160)

        self.labelTeks = QLabel(self)
        self.labelBase64 = QLabel(self)
        self.editTeks = QTextEdit(self)
        self.editBase64 = QTextEdit(self)
        self.buttonEnkoder = QPushButton(self)
        self.buttonDekoder = QPushButton(self)

        self.labelTeks.setText("Teks")
        self.labelTeks.move(10,30)
        self.labelBase64.setText("Base64")
        self.labelBase64.move(10,110)

        self.editTeks.resize(200,60)
        self.editTeks.move(60, 10)
        self.editBase64.resize(200,60)
        self.editBase64.move(60,90)

        self.buttonEnkoder.setText("Enkode")
        self.buttonEnkoder.move(280,30)
        self.buttonDekoder.setText("Dekoder")
        self.buttonDekoder.move(280,110)

        # somehow I feel like I'm doing this wrong
        self.connect(self.buttonEnkoder, SIGNAL('clicked()'), self.enkoder)
        self.connect(self.buttonDekoder, SIGNAL('clicked()'), self.dekoder)

    def enkoder(self):
        # QString isn't really a normal string, hence toAscii()
        teks = self.editTeks.toPlainText().toAscii()
        self.editBase64.setText(b64encode(teks))

    def dekoder(self):
        teks = self.editBase64.toPlainText().toAscii()
        self.editTeks.setText(b64decode(teks))

if __name__ == '__main__':
    app = QApplication(sys.argv)
    fm = FormUtama()
    fm.show()
    sys.exit(app.exec_())
