Convert pyQt UI to python

Question

Is there a way to convert a ui formed with qtDesigner to a python version to use without having an extra file   I m using Maya for this UI  and converting this UI file to a readable python version to implement would be really great

Update for anyone using PyQt5 with python 3.x:

Open terminal (eg. Powershell, cmd etc.)
cd into the folder with your .ui file.
Type: "C:\python\Lib\site-packages\PyQt5\pyuic5.bat" -x Trial.ui -o trial_gui.py for cases where PyQt5 is not a path variable. The path in quotes " " represents where the pyuic5.bat file is.

This should work!

For Ubuntu it works for following commands  If you want individual files to contain main method to run the files individually  may be for testing purpose   pyuic5 filename ui -o filename py -x   No main method in file  cannot run individually    try  pyuic5 filename ui -o filename py   Consider  I m using PyQT5

The question has already been answered  but if you are looking for a shortcut during development  including this at the top of your python script will save you some time but mostly let you forget about actually having to make the conversion   import os  Used in Testing Script os system  pyuic4 -o outputFile py inpuiFile ui

You don t have to install PyQt4 with all its side features  you just need the PyQt4 package itself  Inside the package you could use the module pyuic py   C  Python27 Lib site-packages PyQt4 uic   to convert your Ui file      C  test python C  Python27x64 Lib site-packages PyQt4 uic pyuic py -help   update python3  use pyuic5 -help   add filepath if needed  pyuic version   4 or 5   You will get all options listed   Usage  pyuic4  options   lt ui-file gt   Options    --version             show program s version number and exit   -h  --help            show this help message and exit   -p  --preview         show a preview of the UI instead of generating code   -o FILE  --output FILE                         write generated code to FILE instead of stdout   -x  --execute         generate extra code to test and display the class   -d  --debug           show debug output   -i N  --indent N      set indent width to N spaces  tab if N is 0  default                          4    -w  --pyqt3-wrapper   generate a PyQt v3 style wrapper    Code generation options      --from-imports      generate imports relative to         --resource-suffix SUFFIX                         append SUFFIX to the basename of resource files                          default   rc    So your command will look like this   C  test gt python C  Python27x64 Lib site-packages PyQt4 uic pyuic py test dialog ui -o test py -x   You could also use full file paths to your file to convert it   Why do you want to convert it anyway  I prefer creating widgets in the designer and implement them with via the   ui file  That makes it much more comfortable to edit it later  You could also write your own widget plugins and load them into the Qt Designer with full access  Having your ui hard coded doesn t makes it very flexible    I reuse a lot of my ui s not only in Maya  also for Max  Nuke  etc   If you have to change something software specific  you should try to inherit the class  with the parented ui file  from a more global point of view and patch or override the methods you have to adjust  That saves a lot of work time  Let me know if you have more questions about it
