Loading QtDesigner's .ui files in PySide

Question

I am looking for a simple example of how to directly load a QtDesigner generated .ui file into a Python application.

I simply would like to avoid using pyuic4.

Answer 1

PySide, unlike PyQt, has implemented the QUiLoader class to directly read in .ui files. From the linked documentation,

loader = QUiLoader()
file = QFile(":/forms/myform.ui")
file.open(QFile.ReadOnly)
myWidget = loader.load(file, self)
file.close()
