I have the same problem under Windows 7, PythonXY v2.6.6.0.  (Answers are all 
the same otherwise.)  Python also is unable to run pyuic.py from the command 
line: adding paths to PYTHONPATH or PATH have no effect and it cannot find the 
file.

Example:

C:\Users\My Name\Documents\Python\UI> python pyuic.py MyUI.ui -o ..\MyUI.py
C:\Python26\python.exe: can't open file 'pyuic.py': [Errno 2] No such file or 
directory

Same issue... my error dialog reads: Unable to launch: 
C:/Python27/Lib/site-packages/PyQt4\uic

It seems the slashes are the wrong direction.

I'm on Windows XP with Python(x,y) 2.7.2.1 installed in default directory for 
all users.

Same issue here.

Running Qt Designer from Python(x,y) 2.7 on Windows 7.
Any help would be appreciated.
Exactly the same error as Comment 2.

Same issue, running Windows XP with QT Designed 4.7.4 after doing full install 
of Python(x,y) V2.7.2.2

You can generate code by using the pyuic4.bat file located under the PyQt4 
install directory, on Win usually C:/Python##/Lib/site-packages/PyQt4.

Usage from the command line is:
pyuic4.bat inputfile.ui > output.py

If you are going to use the pyuic.py file then then you either have to use 
"python C:\complete_path_to\pyuic.py" or already be in the directory containing 
pyuic.py (it's in the uic installation subdirectory).  For instance if you are 
in the ..\site-packages\PyQt4\uic\ directory already in the command line then 
you'd use:
python pyuic.py inputfile.ui > output.py

Remember that inputfile.ui and output.py will need their complete paths too.

Python(x,y)sets C:\Python##\Lib\site-packages\PyQt4 into the PATH environment 
variable. So, from a command prompt simply 'cd \path\to\uifile' and run:

pyuic4 inputfile.ui > outputfile.py

Despite the workaround everybody is aware of this is still an issue.

After step six, Add following lines to get your window on your screen
if __name__=='__main__':
    import sys
    app=QtGui.QApplication(sys.argv)
    Form=QtGui.QWidget()
    ui=Ui_Form()
    ui.setupUi(Form)
    Form.show()
    sys.exit(app.exec_())
