Am I understanding it correctly and you're editing the files with the note:

# WARNING! All changes made in this file will be lost!

?

You should really subclass it and then work on the subclass.  It is just a
matter of where you send events to and which slots you have implemented.

You can also create Python code directly with Designer -- I've read that and
I didn't use this, yet... -- and end up with the specific code for the
interface on the same file.

But you shouldn't change the file by hand as the warning says.


In fact, I *like* that pyuic erases the file.  It forces you to separate
code from the UI from the rest of the code.  It also makes it easy to reuse
code with other kinds of interface without loosing the ability to work with
PyQt.
