class Window(QMainWindow): 
    def __init__(self): 
        super().__init__() 
  
  
        # set the title 
        self.setWindowTitle("Python") 
  
        # setting  the geometry of window 
        self.setGeometry(60, 60, 600, 400) 
  
  
        # creating a label widget 
        self.label_1 = QLabel(self) 
  
        # moving position 
        self.label_1.move(100, 100)
