You can't.  And it's probably better that way.  Instead, you need to do it by 
hand, which sounds like more work than it is.  Do something like:

QtCore.QObject.connect( QtCore.SIGNAL("whateveritscalled()"), self.yourSlot)

The only catch is the string you pass to SIGNAL has to match exactly the 
signal's string.  It's a new gotcha because Qt3's designer took care of that 
for you, just remember to take out all spaces and you should be fine.  :)
