This page describes the use of Qt Creator to create Graphical Interfaces for your PySide Software. You will need Qt Creator, Pyside and PySide-Tools (pyuic and pyrcc).
At Qt Creator, create a new Qt Design Form, choose "Main Window" for template.

Add a Qlabel to the center of the centralwidget.

Your file (mainwindow.ui) should look something like this:


At Qt Creator, create a new Qt Design Form, choose "Main Window" for template. And save as "mainwindow.ui" . Add a Qlabel to the center of the centralwidget. You should get somethig like this :
<source lang="xml">
 
[[Image:https://dl.dropbox.com/u/3490869/mainwindow.png|mainwindow]]
 
And your mainwindow.ui
<code>
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<ui version="4.0">
<ui version="4.0">
Line 55: Line 54:
  <connections/>
  <connections/>
</ui>
</ui>
</code>
</source>
Python can't read this ui file so to make it readable to python we need to process it with a script pyside-uic.
The command is:
<code>
pyside-uic mainwindow.ui -o mainwindow.py
</code>


The generated output file "mainwindow.py" is as follows:
Now, using PySide2 we will load the ui file and start our application:
<code>
#-*- coding: utf-8 -*-
# Form implementation generated from reading ui file 'mainwindow.ui'

This page describes the use of Qt Creator to create Graphical Interfaces for your PySide Software. You will need Qt Creator to design and modify your interface (ui file)

If you don't know how to use Qt Creator, please go to Using Qt Designer.

At Qt Creator, create a new Qt Design Form, choose "Main Window" for template. And save as "mainwindow.ui". Add a Qlabel to the center of the centralwidget.

Your file (mainwindow.ui) should look something like this: 

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<ui version="4.0">
 <class>MainWindow</class>
 <widget class="QMainWindow" name="MainWindow">
 <property name="geometry">
 <rect>
 <x>0</x>
 <y>0</y>
 <width>82</width>
 <height>64</height>
 </rect>
 </property>
 <property name="windowTitle">
 <string>MainWindow</string>
 </property>
 <widget class="QWidget" name="centralwidget">
 <layout class="QGridLayout" name="gridLayout">
 <item row="0" column="0">
 <widget class="QLabel" name="label">
 <property name="text">
 <string>Hello World!</string>
 </property>
 </widget>
 </item>
 </layout>
 </widget>
 <widget class="QMenuBar" name="menubar">
 <property name="geometry">
 <rect>
 <x>0</x>
 <y>0</y>
 <width>82</width>
 <height>21</height>
 </rect>
 </property>
 </widget>
 <widget class="QStatusBar" name="statusbar"/>
 </widget>
 <resources/>
 <connections/>
</ui>

Now, using PySide2 we will load the ui file and start our application: 

# main.py
import sys
from PySide2.QtUiTools import QUiLoader
from PySide2.QtWidgets import QApplication
from PySide2.QtCore import QFile

if __name__ == "__main__":
    app = QApplication(sys.argv)

    file = QFile("mainwindow.ui")
    file.open(QFile.ReadOnly)

    loader = QUiLoader()
    window = loader.load(file)
    window.show()

    sys.exit(app.exec_())

And to run it, just a 

python main.py

will do the job.
