I mean this in the kindest way, but it sounds like you are "doing it 
wrong" (tm).  I'm assuming that self.ui.buttonGroup is a 
QDialogButtonBox.  If so, I suspect you should be considering the use of 
the various ButtonRole types to organise your buttons by the broad 
functionality they offer.  Then Qt will layout your buttons according to 
your platform of use to match the HIG.  See 
http://developer.qt.nokia.com/doc/qt-4.8/qdialogbuttonbox.html

If that really is not sufficient for your needs, then I'd suspect it 
would be quite a fight with the QDialogButtonBox to do what you want 
(e.g. I would assume that the QDialogButtonBox would totally rebuild the 
positions every time you resize the dialog).  In that case, you should 
perhaps consider using a QVBoxLayout or QHBoxLayout and using the 
addStretch, insertSpacing, etc functions to insert dead space in your 
layouts.  This can be done in the Qt Creator designer as well (there's a 
spacer item in the widget toolbox).

All that failing, your question is literally answered with 
button.geometry() and button.setGeometry() where the geometry property 
is inherited by QPushButton from QWidget.
