convert qt file to python in Maya 2024

[Pacifique Nzitonda]

Hi all, in Maya 2020 I used to import pyside2uic and convert .ui to .py

How do we do it in Maya 2024?

Thanks

[Justin Israel]

Hi Justin, I had already read this but I want to do it directly in Maya not using external console. I want to do it that way because I'm still going back and forth between the code in Maya and Qt Designer. So I want to be able to reload the converted .py all the time.

Thanks

What am I missing? The code in the Option B is something you can run in Maya. It isn't shell commands.

Oh sorry! What I didn't mention is that I want to get autocompletion but the QUiLoader() doesn't provide it.

This is a different problem. You said it didn't work because you thought it was a console shell approach. But now that you see it is a code approach, your actual problem is about autocomplete?

I'm sorry maybe I didn't explain well the issue.

What I'm looking for is a way to do something like this in Maya 2024 Script Editor:

I'm learning stuff about qt that's why It would be easier if I could convert the .ui to .py each time I run my script inside Maya 2024

If I test the following code in the Maya script editor, from the example link I previously shared, it seems to work just fine in loading the ui file and giving me a QDialog. Maya script editor can then autocomplete fields on the QDialog object:

from PySide2.QtUiTools import QUiLoader
from PySide2.QtCore import QFile, QIODevice

def load(ui_file_name):
    ui_file = QFile(ui_file_name)
    if not ui_file.open(QIODevice.ReadOnly):
        print("Cannot open {}: {}".format(ui_file_name, ui_file.errorString()))
        return
    loader = QUiLoader()
    window = loader.load(ui_file)
    ui_file.close()
    return window

win = load("test.ui")

Each time I call load() it will return me a new instance of the dialog.

Thanks a lot, it is all good now.

Oh by the way, thank you also for the "Python for VFX" Vol  2 (Python for Maya Artist). Produced by CMI STUDIOS.

That helped me so much when I started learning python.
