Python code generation with pyside-uic

Question

How can I generate python code from a QtDesigner file ? I found pyside-uic but I can\'t find an example for the syntax. I run win7 and pythonxy with spyder.

Read the documentation. In this particular case, http://www.riverbankcomputing.co.uk/static/Docs/PyQt4/pyqt4ref.html#pyuic4:

The pyuic4 utility is a command line interface to the uic module. The command has the following syntax:

pyuic4 [options] .ui-file

The full set of command line options is:
-h, --help  A help message is written to stdout.
--version   The version number is written to stdout.
-i N, --indent=N
    The Python code is generated using an indentation of N spaces. If N is 0 then a tab is used. The default is 4.
-o FILE, --output=FILE
    The Python code generated is written to the file FILE.
-p, --preview   The GUI is created dynamically and displayed. No Python code is generated.
-w, --pyqt3-wrapper
    The generated Python code includes a small wrapper that allows the GUI to be used in the same way as it is used in PyQt v3.
-x, --execute   The generated Python code includes a small amount of additional code that creates and displays the GUI when it is executes as a standalone application.
--from-imports  Resource modules are imported using from . import rather than a simple import.
