Ok, I got beyond that point. The .ui-files didn't have the
extends-element set. I don't know wether this is a bug in Qt Designer or
my custom-widget-C++-Code but I'll check that.

However this still doesn't completely solve my problem:

andreas at morpheus:~/projects/pyfilmdbsimpleui/widgets/ui>python Ui_versionwidget.py
  File "Ui_versionwidget.py", line 14
    from widgets/pictureformatwidget.h import PictureFormatWidget
                ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

As you can see pyuic4 generates totally nonsense import statements (or
is python able to parse C++ header files?). I guess Phil you didn't
invest much time on pyuic4 regarding this, did you?
