I am trying to write a program in python that will convert a .ui file in the same folder (created in Qt Designer) into a .py file. This is the code for this extremely basic program:
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
from PyQt4 import uic
with open('exampleinterface.py', 'w') as fout:
uic.compileUi('exampleinterface.ui', fout)
It gives the following error (with long path names shortened):
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "", line 1, in
File "...\Python32_3.5\lib\site-packages\spyderlib\widgets\externalshell\sitecustomize.py", line 699, in runfile execfile(filename, namespace)

Can anyone tell me why this isn't working, and if there is a solution?
Note: I know that there are other ways to convert a .ui file into a .py file, but I am looking for one that I can easily integrate into a python program, without calling an outside file.
uifile - but since you didn't provide it, there's not much more that can be said.pyuic4in the command line. If it doesn't work there either, your .ui file is the problem.
