pyuic doesn't guarantee that it will generate code that will work with an
earlier version of PyQt that it is a part of. Otherwise it would be
difficult to introduce new features.

If you don't have control over the version of PyQt your users are using
then you should run pyuic as part of your installation process (or
dynamically load the .ui files).
