Hi Henry/Alex, Ideally you have to import the entire generated Python file to get access to the resources. You can read about it here: https://doc.qt.io/qtforpython-6/tutorials/basictutorial/qrcfiles.html#generating-a-python-file So, a simple "import images.compiledresource_rc" would suffice and you should be able to use your resources in code.
There are also many examples in the Qt for Python repository<https://code.qt.io/cgit/pyside/pyside-setup.git/tree/> that makes use of .qrc files. https://doc.qt.io/qtforpython-6/examples/example_quickcontrols_gallery.html would be one among them.

A typical compiled resource file for me looks like this: qt_resource_data = b"\ {snip} " qt_resource_name = b"\ {snip} " qt_resource_struct = b"\ {snip} " def qInitResources(): QtCore.qRegisterResourceData(0x03, qt_resource_struct, qt_resource_name, qt_resource_data) def qCleanupResources(): QtCore.qUnregisterResourceData(0x03, qt_resource_struct, qt_resource_name, qt_resource_data) qInitResources() So is the solution from images.compiledresource_rc import qInitResources Will that register the resource data without any garbage collection or other problems? BTW, as much as I love Python, the way it handles modules in folder seems very odd to me.

Let us know if you have further questions or problems.

September 2023 01:00 An: pyside@qt-project.org<mailto:pyside@qt-project.org> Betreff: [PySide] Help importing compiled Qt resource file from subfolder Hello, I have spend the last few hours trying to figure this out and now I have to ask for some help. My project has grown to the point where is needs to be more organized, so I am moving modules from one huge folder into subfolders. I use a resource file in QtDesigner and then compile it resulting in a "something_rc.py". With the "one huge folder" approach I just imported this file into any module that uses dialogs - this is the only way that the images would show up in the widgets. Now I am struggling to do this with the folder structure. I made a simple example that shows the issue. The tree is below and the attached zip file contains everything. pkg │ main.py │ test_local.py │ ├───images │ compiledresource_rc.py │ └───utils helpers.py util.py __init__.py Briefly, main can import test_local and util without any problems. The issue is that if helpers needs to import the compiled resource file compiledresource_rc. I swear that I have tried the exact syntax from different Internet resources and I cannot get it to work. Can somebody please help me deal with this resource file? Thank you for your help, Henry _______________________________________________ PySide mailing list PySide@qt-project.org<mailto:PySide@qt-project.org> https://lists.qt-project.org/listinfo/pyside _______________________________________________ PySide mailing list PySide@qt-project.org<mailto:PySide@qt-project.org> https://lists.qt-project.org/listinfo/pyside
