Hi, I (or we) also use the same method as Arnaud. The only drawback is you can’t get the autocomplete from the python file (from the ui file). But the benefit is greater: no need to ship generated python code, no need to compile every time we change the .ui file. The development is faster now.
I don’t think we need to see the generated python code from the .ui file. You can see here for the utilities method : https://github.com/inasafe/inasafe/blob/develop/safe/utilities/resources.py#L107 <https://github.com/inasafe/inasafe/blob/develop/safe/utilities/resources.py#L107> Best Regards > On 12May, 2017, at 12:34, Michal Zimmermann <zimm...@gmail.com> wrote: > > Hi, > that looks like an interesting workaround!
