Qt User Interface Compiler version , running on PySide2 5.15.2.
Command Line Watcher for auto compile Qt ui to python file.

Usage Example:

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -p, --preview         show a preview of the UI instead of generating code
  -o FILE, --output FILE
                        write generated code to FILE instead of stdout
                        <EXP> to define a output expression (default: <${ui_dir}/${ui_name}_ui.py>)
                        ${ui_dir} - input python directory path
                        ${ui_name} - input python file name
  -x, --execute         generate extra code to test and display the class
  -d, --debug           show debug output
  -i N, --indent N      set indent width to N spaces, tab if N is 0 (default: 4)

Code generation options:
  --from-imports        generate imports relative to '.'
  -nq, --no-useQt       ignore Qt.py module for Qt compat
  --QtModule module     customize import Qt module name (default: Qt) | only work in --no-useQt flag set
  -nb, --no-black       ignore black format code
  -ni, --no-isort       ignore isort format code
  -ts TS, --gen-ts TS   generate ts file for i18n | support <EXP> like --output

Watcher options:
  -w WATCH [WATCH ...], --watch WATCH [WATCH ...]
                        watch files or directories
  -e EXCLUDE [EXCLUDE ...], --exclude EXCLUDE [EXCLUDE ...]
                        exclude files glob expression
  -c FILE, --config FILE
                        read specific config file

Configuration

pyuiw would read the pyproject.toml by default or you can set the --config flag to read specific config file.

here is the default options in config file.

[tool.pyuiw]
QtModule = "Qt"
exclude = [] # using glob pattern for exclude
useQt = true
watch = []
execute = true
debug = false
from_imports = false
preview = false
indent = 4
output = "<${ui_dir}/${ui_name}_ui.py>"
black = true
isort = true

here is a example setup.

[tool.pyuiw]
exclude = ["*launcher*"] # exclude file contain `launcher`
watch = ["./tests/ui","./test2/test.ui"] # read the file or directory get all the `.ui` file for watch
