Drag and drop converter - Raures - Oct-01-2017
Hello everyone. I've created another User Interface to Python converter (you can find the first one here, though I don't recommend it, it's ugly), this one's more simple and comfortable. Literally all you have to do is drag the *.ui file and drop it in the square, the *.py file will be generated in the directory that you choose (Desktop by default). I've attached the icon, even thought it's not necessary, and also, the program will create a "settings.txt" file, which contains the path where the generated file should be saved.
Here's the code:
from PyQt5 import QtCore, QtGui, QtWidgets
from pathlib import Path
import os
savePath = ""
settingsFilePath = Path("settings.txt")
if not settingsFilePath.is_file():
f = open("settings.txt", "w")
savePath = os.environ["HOMEPATH"] + "\\Desktop\\"
f.write(savePath)
f.close()
else:
f = open("settings.txt", "r")
savePath = f.readline()
f.close()
def convertToPy(target):
os.system('pyuic5 -o "' + savePath + '/convertedfile.py" "' + target + '"')
class Label(QtWidgets.QLabel):
def __init__(self):
super(Label, self).__init__()
self.setAcceptDrops(True)
def dragEnterEvent(self, e):
if e.mimeData().hasFormat("text/uri-list"):
e.accept()
else:
e.ignore()
def dropEvent(self, e):
convertToPy(e.mimeData().text()[8:])

Edit:
For some reason, the code is not indented, here's a gist.
