Steve,

I thought that might be the case because sites.py has the class:
class SitesWindow(qtw.QWidget):
     def __init__(self):
         super().__init__()
         sites = qtw.QWidget(windowTitle='Locations')

So I edited mwe.py to call
 	tabs.addTab(self.sw, 'Sites')

and I get a blank window; I'm still missiong a step or three.

Thanks very much,

Rich
