Not sure if I'd like to do this ... * I actually like the way it is done right now, you can easily subclass the generated python code, and I'm not sure how this should be done when using .ui files directly. Furthermore, it might add overhead to do this at runtime. * It's quite easy right now to create the UI in designer and then just modify the code, so that your program is just one file / script and not multiple ones. This can ease fiddling with correct pathes in some cases. * Simon Edwards pykdeextensions [0] already provide functionality to automatically compile .ui files at install time * Learning pyqt/pykde from the generated source code would be much harder if possible at all * The only advantage I see is that one step is saved when developing an .ui file, and that one could be easily scripted (just run pyuic foo.ui -o foo_ui.py && foo.py, for example) > Presumably (not having looked at the uic format) this may not be very hard > to do, given Python's dynamic nature. I'm unsure what would that buy us.
