explicitly import the resources module. What would be the point of a
separate sub-package? From a programming point of view, the only namespace
that matters is the one provided by the resource system itself - and the
best place to organize that is the qrc file (it has support for aliases, if
needed).

That's a good point. I think the reason I wanted a resources package is
that I'm abusing the resource system a little, by having

icons.qrc
images.qrc
rock_types.qrc
mineral_types.qrc
...

Not all of which are used only from UI forms, so some would need to be
imported from manual code, such as in the item delegate I pasted.

I realize now that that's not such a great idea, and will stuff it all in a
single resources.qrc.

I was structuring the contained files across separate directories anyway,
which gives nice namespaces in the :/foo paths used.

Thanks for the input!

Though, Phil, I cannot help but ask: Would you accept a patch for a
--resources-package <package> flag to pyuic? When given, it would generate
resource imports from the named package instead of assuming resources were
generated into the same package as the _ui.py.
