How to display QLineEdit on the window?

I created a small window using PyQt4 and Pydev. The code is below:

import sys
from PyQt4 import QtGui
from PyQt4 import QtCore

# Create GUI object
app = QtGui.QApplication(sys.argv)
widget = QtGui.QWidget()

widget.setGeometry(400,300,800,800) # Position window
widget.resize(450,250)  # Resize window

widget.setWindowTitle('Sample')   # Set Title of the window

Password = QtGui.QLineEdit()    # Input Box for password

widget.show()   # Display window

# Exit program
sys.exit(app.exec_())

I created the Password LineEdit box but how to show on the active window, which is represented by widget?

Just use

Password = QtGui.QLineEdit(widget)

This tells Qt that you want widget to be the parent of the QLineEdit. If you leave out the widget, then the QLineEdit has no parent, so it's not shown.

Update: To position child items in parent windows, you'll have to read up about layouts (I assume you want to do it properly, not as a toy/learning exercise). Any good PyQt book should be able to help, e.g. this one.
