You need to create a widget to load the ui file onto

self.widget = QWidget(self)
uic.loadUi('module.ui', self.widget)

self.widget.label.setText('Hello')

That being said, it would probably be better if you created a separate class for the other widget.

class MyWidget(QWidget):
    def __init__(self, **args, **kwargs):
        super(MyWidget, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs)
        uic.loadUi('module.ui', self)
        self.label.setText('Hello')

class TestApp(QtGui.QMainWindow):
    def __init__(self):
        ...
        self.widget = MyWidget(self)
