lowercase class names, eg., qtgui ? (PyQt4)

[Glen]

Hello,

In the file generated by pyuic4 from Designer's .ui file I noticed the use
of lower case class names (I'm assuming these are the names of classes,
not modules). For example:

It imports thusly:

from PyQt4 import QtGui

then uses things like:
self.gridlayout = qtgui.qgridlayout(dldialog)

What exactly is going on here? Are these instances that are defined
somewhere else (their not in the local scope.)? Can I do the same in my
code when I import something?

Thanks,

Glen

Hi,

Are you sure? That's strange. I have never seen that. Here is a snippet
of one of my typical .py files generated by 'pyuic4':

self.gridlayout = QtGui.QGridLayout(self.centralwidget)
self.gridlayout.setMargin(9)
self.gridlayout.setSpacing(6)
self.gridlayout.setObjectName("gridlayout")

self.hboxlayout = QtGui.QHBoxLayout()
self.hboxlayout.setMargin(0)
self.hboxlayout.setSpacing(6)
self.hboxlayout.setObjectName("hboxlayout")

self.hboxlayout1 = QtGui.QHBoxLayout()
self.hboxlayout1.setMargin(0)
self.hboxlayout1.setSpacing(6)
self.hboxlayout1.setObjectName("hboxlayout1")

Upper case all the way...

Hi Tina,

Thanks for the reply. Of course, by now I've run pyuic4 again on my .ui
file and things are back to normal. Believe it or not, my example was a
copy/paste directly from my .py file. Some strange anomoly, I guess.
Everything's ok now. Maybe vim was just displaying the text wrong for a
minute. Had me going though.

Thanks again.
