What is happening? Don't expect us to run your buggy code!

Looking at the code I see:


for a in self.n:
    NewLabel = QtWidgets.QLabel(self)
    NewLabel.setText(self.friend_name + "has birthday on " +
                     self.friend_date)
    NewLabel.setGeometry(QtCore.QRect(30, 250, 100, 100))

I'm no Qt expert but it seems that you are overwriting the same widget
(or widget location?) with all of the labels? And all of the labels are
identical since you use the same data to create them?


I would expect something more like (pseudo code!):

for a in self.n:
    newLabel = QtWidgets.QLabel(self)
    NewLabel.setText(self.friends[a].friend_name + "has birthday on " +
                     self.friends[a]._date)
    NewLabel.setGeometry(QtCore.QRect(self.calculateGeometry(a))
    self.friendLabels.append(newLabel)   # if you need a reference
