about the ui file, you can actually use them as is without converting. Make
sure you got the right path to the file
from PyQt4 import QtGui, uic
class UI(QtGui.QDialog):
def __init__( self, parent=None ):
super( testUI, self ).__init__(parent)
self.ui = uic.loadUi("d:/test.ui", self)
test = UI()
test.show()
You can replace parent=None with parent=getMayaWindow() so that your UI
will be a child of Maya's window. You can get that function with example
from Nathan's blog
