[Python] PyQt: How do I load a ui file from a resource?

In general, I load all my ui files via the loadui() method, and this works fine for me. This looks like this:

#!/usr/bin/env python
#-*- coding:utf-8 -*-

'''
The modules for Qt are imported.
PyQt are a set of Python bindings for Qt.
'''
from PyQt4.QtGui import QDialog
from PyQt4.uic import loadUi
from PyQt4.QtCore import Qt, QFile
from PyQt4 import QtCore

class My_Window(QDialog):
def __init__(self, parent):
QDialog.__init__(self, parent)

UI_PATH = QFile(":/ui_file/test.ui")

UI_PATH.open(QFile.ReadOnly)

self.ui_test = loadUi(UI_PATH, self)

UI_PATH.close()


Now I try to load the ui file via loaduiType(), but it doesn't work. I tried with this code:

from PyQt4.uic import loadUiType

UI_PATH = QFile(":/ui_file/test.ui")

Ui_Class, _ = loadUiType(UI_PATH)

class Test_Window(QDialog, UiClass):
def __init__(self, parent):
QDialog.__init__(self, parent)

self.setupUi(self)


What is the correct and best why to load the ui file with the loadUiType() method?
