how to open a QDialog widget on the center position of the main window

Im looking for a way to open a QDialog widget on the center position of the main window. I have set the position of the mainwindow to center.

 centerPoint = qtw.QDesktopWidget().availableGeometry().center()
        qtRectangle.moveCenter(centerPoint)

to folow the dialog widget to the postion of the main window i have set it to 

msgb.move(self.pos().x(), self.pos().y())

the dialog window follows the positon of the main window , but it opens on the top left side of the main window, how can I change its position to the center of the main window ?

#!/usr/bin/env python

A widget has a position relative to its parent, and if it does not have a parent then it will be relative to the screen. And in the case of msgb it belongs to the second case so you will have to convert the coordinate of the center of the window to global coordinates (that is to say with respect to the screen). Even doing the above it will not be centered because the position is with respect to the topleft, that is, the msgb topleft will be in the center of the screen which is not desirable so you have to also take into account the size of the msgb. And the size of the msgb before and after it is displayed is different so with a QTimer it will be enough:

def open_box(self):
    msgb = qtw.QMessageBox()
    msgb.setWindowTitle("title")
    msgb.setText("hier sthet was")
    qtc.QTimer.singleShot(
        0,
        lambda: msgb.move(
            self.mapToGlobal(self.rect().center() - msgb.rect().center())
        ),
    )
    run = msgb.exec_()
