The QSplashScreen.showMessage()method accepts an alignment flag i.e Qt.AlignLeft. What is the syntax for setting both a horizontal and vertical alignment flag? All attempts yields "too many variables" error.

Qt::Alignment are QFlags that use bitwise operators &, | and ^, in the case you want to combine flags you must use the | operator, in the next part I show an example:

import random

from PyQt5 import QtCore, QtGui, QtWidgets



if __name__ == '__main__':

    import sys

    app = QtWidgets.QApplication(sys.argv)

    pixmap = QtGui.QPixmap(640, 480)

    h_alignments = (QtCore.Qt.AlignLeft, QtCore.Qt.AlignRight, QtCore.Qt.AlignHCenter, QtCore.Qt.AlignJustify)

    v_alignments = (QtCore.Qt.AlignTop, QtCore.Qt.AlignBottom, QtCore.Qt.AlignVCenter, QtCore.Qt.AlignBaseline)

    pixmap.fill(QtGui.QColor("green"))

    w  = QtWidgets.QSplashScreen(pixmap)



    def on_timeout():

        a = random.choice(h_alignments) | random.choice(v_alignments)

        w.showMessage("Stack Overflow", alignment=a)



    timer = QtCore.QTimer(interval=100, timeout=on_timeout)

    timer.start()

    QtCore.QTimer.singleShot(10*1000, QtWidgets.QApplication.quit)

    w.show()

    sys.exit(app.exec_())

From the Qt5 docs, alignment flags are bit fields so to combine them you use the | operator (e.g., Qt.AlignLeft | Qt.AlignTop for "top left" alignment)
