Linking a qtDesigner .ui file to python/pyqt?

Question

So if I go into QtDesigner and build a UI, it\'ll be saved as a .ui file. How can I make this as a python file or use this in python?

Answer 1

You can convert your .ui files to an executable python file using the below command..

pyuic4 -x form1.ui > form1.py

Now you can straightaway execute the python file as

python3(whatever version) form1.py

You can import this file and you can use it.

Answer 2

In order to compile .ui files to .py files, I did:

python pyuic.py form1.ui > form1.py

Att.

Answer 3

You need to generate a python file from your ui file with the pyuic tool (site-packages\pyqt4\bin)

pyuic form1.ui > form1.py

with pyqt4

pyuic4.bat form1.ui > form1.py

Then you can import the form1 into your script.

Answer 4

in pyqt5 to convert from a ui file to .py file

pyuic5.exe youruifile.ui -o outputpyfile.py -x

Answer 5

you can compile the ui files like this

pyuic4 -x helloworld.ui -o helloworld.py

Answer 6

Combining Max's answer and Shriramana Sharma's mailing list post, I built a small working example for loading a mywindow.ui file containing a QMainWindow (so just choose to create a Main Window in Qt Designer's File-New dialog).

This is the code that loads it:

import sys
from PyQt4 import QtGui, uic

class MyWindow(QtGui.QMainWindow):
    def __init__(self):
        super(MyWindow, self).__init__()
        uic.loadUi('mywindow.ui', self)
        self.show()

if __name__ == '__main__':
    app = QtGui.QApplication(sys.argv)
    window = MyWindow()
    sys.exit(app.exec_())
