[PyQt] pyuic4 vs uic.loadUI

I usually use both of them to deal with this problem.

My python code which depends on ui files (ie. class which heritate from 
widgets made in designer) tries to load ui file using uic.loadUI, and if it 
fails, it tries to load the class from the module made by pyuic4.

This allows me to use .ui files directly during development process. Then when 
I must release the code, the setup.py generates the python modules from ui 
file (using pyuic4), and these modules are packaged by distutils (which is 
used for py2exe or to build debian packages).

This king of stuff is used for example in hgview 
(http://www.logilab.org/project/hgview)
