Converting a UI file into Python code

After designing the UI file, we can convert the UI file into its equivalent Python code. The conversion is done using a pyuic compiler. We have already installed this tool while installing PyQt/PySide. The following are the commands to convert a Qt UI file into a Python file.

We have to use different commands for PyQt and PySide. The following command is to convert the UI into its PyQt equivalent file:

    $ pyuic4 -x hello_world.ui -o hello_world.py  

The pyuic4 is a UI compiler to convert a UI file into its equivalent Python code. We need to mention the UI filename after the -x argument and mention the output filename after the -o argument.

There are not many changes to the PySide command. Instead of
