OK. I see where the misunderstanding is. When you unpack PyQt 4.0.1 to create
the PyQt-x11-gpl-4.0.1 directory, for example, there's a pyuic directory, but
there's no pyuic4 file inside it. It's only created when you run configure.py
script.

There's also a file called pyuic.py in pyuic/uic and this is what you're
describing:

Yes, this script actually does the work. It's executed by the pyuic4 file.

Anyway, the problem you describe with your form is due to something else.
I'll send a separate message for that.

If you look for pyuic4 in the directories that usually contain executables,
I'm sure you'll find it. If not, there's a problem with the installation
process. On Linux, you should be able to type "which pyuic4" to find the
executable, and it should be located with other tools like pylupdate4 and
pyrcc4.

Hope this helps,
