Please try to get a book on python and object oriented programming.

For starters create a Subclass from QMainWindow and your Ui form (this
should be explained in the PyQt docs) and implement all your slots
there. Then you probably want more classes to take over specific tasks
of the application (like document representation, handling redo/undo,
printing).
