Thanks for your help, you cleared some things up for me. I had used
this self.ui.blah approach because I saw that at a company I worked
for, it's also the stated 'single inheritance' approach in the QT docs
here: http://www.riverbankcomputing.co.uk/static/Docs/PyQt4/html/designer.html
In your example I would get this:
TypeError: ('Wrong base class of toplevel widget', (<class
'__main__.skinWrangler'>, 'QDialog'))
So I made it a QDialog and added this string from the docs:
def __init__(self):
>>>QtGui.QDialog.__init__(self)
Now it works fine! (the onClose)
