The MainUi object is global to the scope of that module. Not to the entire Maya
python environment. You would need to have the executeDeferred actually create
and assign a variable referring to it.
A larger problem with your code is that you are not using a class structure and
just have functions operating on a global variable.
You should have a class that can assemble itself and be shown. That way the
executeDeferred call can create an instance of it, and show it. And you will
have access to that instance from the Script Editor
Avoid the use of globals in your design if you can.
A quick fix is to have main() return the instance of MainUi so you can assign
it to the result in:
executeDeferred("import theModule ; MainUi = theModule.main()")
