To make sure that you have already installed the DelphiVCL Python library correctly, you can simply test it using the Python dir() command:
import delphivcl
dir(delphivcl)
If you install it correctly, it will return all properties, methods, even built-in properties of the DelphiVCL module, without the values:
See them more clearly here:
['Abort',
'Action',
'ActionList'…
There are two ways for you to install DelphiVCL: By directly copying the module to your local/system path, or install it via pip.

The most important benefits of the VCL over other competing technologies such as Tkinter and PyQT are as follows:
A standard set of components that includes all controls provided by the Windows UI framework. This set consists of components such as buttons, edits, menus…
.Width specifies the horizontal size of the control or form in pixels.
Use the Width property to read or change the width of the control.
Note: For tab sheet controls, changing this property at the run time does not affect.
Here are the examples of drawing a rectangle with Width =100, 200, 300, or 460 respectively:
# Draw a rectangle
shpRectangle =…
.Top specifies the Y coordinate of the upper-left corner of a control, relative to its parent or containing control in pixels.
Use Top to locate the top of the control or reposition the control to a different Y coordinate. The Top property, like the Left property, is…
.Left specifies the horizontal coordinate of the left edge of a component relative to its parent.
Use the Left property to determine where the left side of the control begins or to reposition the left side of the control.
If the control is contained in another…
.Height specifies the vertical size of the control in pixels.
Use the Height property to read or change the height of the control.
Here is the example of drawing a rectangle with Height=100, 200, or 300:
# Draw a rectangle
shpRectangle = Shape(pgOne)
shpRectangle.SetProps(Parent=pgOne,Shape = 'stRectangle')
shpRectangle.SetBounds(5,5,460,100)

DelphiVCL is a Python module giving Python GUI apps on Windows access to Delphi’s VCL for robust and high-performance native Windows visual widgets. It uses the Python4Delphi library as a bridge between Delphi’s VCL (Visual Component Library) and Python. DelphiVCL is currently for Windows, while DelphiFMX is coming soon with support for other platforms, including Linux, macOS, and Android…
