How do you execute pyqt .ui code in python?

Question

I am making a GUI for a script I am making, after researching I found pyqt would be helpful. I have now made a GUI with no working buttons as of yet in pyqt but wanted to look at the code. I opened cmd.exe and typed in: ``` pyuic4 project.ui -o python.py ``` It created me a python.py script which showed me all the script I needed, however when I run it via IDLE or command prompt it shows it as running but no GUI opens up. Am I doing something wrong? Also on a side note, is pyqt suitable to use to create a simple GUI for windows, or is it for mobile development? Here is a snippet of code that i want to compile and run ``` from PyQt4 import QtCore, QtGui try: _fromUtf8 = QtCore.QString.fromUtf8 except AttributeError: def _fromUtf8(s): return s try: _encoding = QtGui.QApplication.UnicodeUTF8 def _translate(context, text, disambig): return QtGui.QApplication.translate(context, text, disambig, _encoding) except AttributeError: def _translate(context, text, disambig): return QtGui.QApplicat…

Accepted Answer

Check this tutorial on how to use the generated code by the pyuic4 command;

Basically, you need to do this:

```
import sys
from PyQt4.QtGui import QApplication, QDialog
from ui_project import Ui_Name  # here you need to correct the names

app = QApplication(sys.argv)
window = QDialog()
ui = Ui_Name()
ui.setupUi(window)

window.show()
sys.exit(app.exec_())
```

Pyqt is completely suitable to create GUIs on Windows.
