generate Qt code with pyuic4

threaderslash · 09-22-2009, 11:45 PM

Hello Everybody....

I have used Qt Designer to generate a basic GUI. The file saved from Qt Designer I named it myGUI.ui .

Now, I have to generate from myGUI.ui the ui_myGUI.py, right? To get this done, we must run pyuic4, directly or via mkpuqt.py or Make PyQt. I tried to get it done, so went into the Py25 console:

Code:

pyuic4 -o C:\dev\prgr\src\ui_myGUI.py C:\dev\prgr\src\myGUI.ui
The system cannot find the path specified.

Then to be sure, I moved the file myGUI.ui to the folder where is found the pyuic4, and run again...

Code:

pyuic4 -o ui_myGUI.py myGUI.ui
The system cannot find the path specified.

I didn't figure out how to get it running.

I googled around and didn't find much useful material or any practical example/setup on internet about how to put the pyuic4 to generate the ui_myGUI.py.

Of course the better would be to run pyuic4 directly from the Eclipse IDE, which I have integrated and compiling Python 2.5 and 2.6. However, no way is working.

What I am doing wrong, or what is missing here?

All comments or suggestions are mostly appreciated.

it means that pyuic4 (what that?) is not where you think it is
or the path enviroment variable is set wrong

Yep.. the ..!\Py25\Lib\site-packages\PyQt4 is included into the System Properties : Environment Variables : Path.

Also, just tried.. on console:

Code:

pyuic4 -o C:\dev\prgr\src\ui_myGUI.py -x C:\dev\prgr\src\myGUI.ui
The system cannot find the path specified.

pyuic4 -o ui_myGUI.py -x myGUI.ui
The system cannot find the path specified.

Still gives the same error.

Very strange.

Maybe it seems to be a bug .. see: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=523059 .

Any light please?

try using a full path to pyuic4

Using the console, I went into the directory where is found the pyuic4, so ..!\Py25\Lib\site-packages\PyQt4. Copied the file myGUI.ui there. Then run the command:

Code:

pyuic4 -o ui_myGUI.py -x myGUI.ui
The system cannot find the path specified.

Any other ideas?

A library ( e.g. pyuic4.so ) is not found by 'cd'
to it's location.

Must either be in the LD_LIBRARY_PATH , or you must
start all commands with e.g. : ( Linux )
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/qt4/lib
( please replace with actual path.)

All path's can be detected with the command : 'env | grep PATH

.....
Why use "back slashes" ( \ ) ? ?
Isn't it a Linux system ?
.....

Yep.. The project is a development for a customer, and they only use windows.

To define PATH on Win, you go in the graphic mode to the Enviroment Variables and set it to PATH.

Here is how to setup the Qt Designer to generate the QtPython code on Eclipse IDE:

Thanks Brendan - for the nice tutorial. It really works!
