Linking a qtDesigner .ui file to python/pyqt?

Question

So if I go into QtDesigner and build a UI, it\'ll be saved as a .ui file. How can I make this as a python file or use this in python?

Combining Max's answer and Shriramana Sharma's mailing list post, I built a small working example for loading a mywindow.ui file containing a QMainWindow (so just choose to create a Main Window in Qt Designer's File-New dialog).

This is the code that loads it:

import sys
from PyQt4 import QtGui, uic

class MyWindow(QtGui.QMainWindow):
    def __init__(self):
        super(MyWindow, self).__init__()
        uic.loadUi('mywindow.ui', self)
        self.show()

if __name__ == '__main__':
    app = QtGui.QApplication(sys.argv)
    window = MyWindow()
    sys.exit(app.exec_())
