>From 2011 onwards, Maya already run in Qt. If you look at this code...
app = QtGui.QApplication(sys.argv)
ex = Example()
sys.exit(app.exec_())
app is initiating Qt, that's what crashing with Maya's own Qt.
So, inside Maya, you can simply subclass PyQt UI and call the show(). And
bam you have it.
from PyQt4 import QtGui
myUI = QtGui.QMainWindow()
myUI.show()
Assuming you have the correct PyQt version added to your python path of
course :)
