Arh, OK, then use a factory function to build the QWidget class. Something like this.

RE: [Maya-Python] Calling a compiled QT file in Maya
Figured outthe "_" thing, guess I should grab working code online.Appears uic.compileUI does use pyuic4
No, it doesnt run everytime an instance is made. Well, plan on makingcompile Ui files when a py is not found.
Now, the window (partically displayed) is literaly embeded in the top left corner of Maya making it unuseable.
Thanks,

I wrote a PyQt ui to browser and convert them on double click using os.systemcmd = 'pyuic4 %s %s' % (DesignFile, OutPutFile)os.system(cmd)To be honest, it was on of the 1st things I did so I've never looked at another way to convert files. Does your method convert each and every time you make an instance?-Dave

I edited the class below to reference the class for my browser using the following lines of code to show the window:
a = Browser()
a.show()
Two things happen.. first the window does not stay "parented" to the main Maya window and will disappear under Maya.
Second... using the compiled version of calculatorform that comes with Qt works fine. However, when I used uic.compileUi to complile the calculatorform.ui. I get the following error:
# Error: ... global name '_' is not defined #
The compiler added a '_' that doesn't belong. For example:
CalculatorForm.setWindowTitle(_( u"Calculator Form"))
If I removed the '_', it will open.
Also, on a ui that I created I had to comment out the following lines because:
test.setCentralWidget(self.centralwidget)
test.setMenuBar(self.menubar)
test.setStatusBar(self.statusbar)
They cause a Attribute Error such as:
# Error: AttributeError ... 'Browser' object has no attribute 'setCentralWidget' #
Is there a way to get a compiled version of a Ui to open without having to edit the file?
Thanks,
