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

Another way to use  ui in your code is   from PyQt4 import QtCore  QtGui  uic class MyWidget QtGui QWidget               somewhere in constructor      uic loadUi  MyWidget ui   self    both approaches are good  Do not forget  that if you use Qt resource files  extremely useful  for icons and so on  you must compile it too   pyrcc4 exe -o ui images rc py ui images images qrc   Note  when uic compiles interface  it adds  import images rc  at the end of  py file  so you must compile resources into the file with this name  or rename it in generated code

The cleaner way in my opinion is to first export to  py as aforementioned    pyuic4 foo ui  gt  foo py   And then use it inside your code  e g main py   like   from foo import Ui MyWindow   class MyWindow QtGui QDialog       def   init   self           super MyWindow  self    init              self ui   Ui MyWindow           self ui setupUi self             go on setting up your handlers like            self ui okButton clicked connect function name            etc     def main        app   QtGui QApplication sys argv      w   MyWindow       w show       sys exit app exec      if   name         main         main     This way gives the ability to other people who don t use qt-designer to read the code  and also keeps your functionality code outside foo py that could be overwritten by designer  You just reference ui through MyWindow class as seen above
