Ignore the import generated for icon(.qrc) file while converting the .ui file to .py using pyside2-uic

I have created a .ui file using qt5-designer. Also using the designer I created a .qrc file to store all the icons that I will be using throughout the app. The issue I am facing is that when I convert the .ui file to .py file using the following command
pyside2-uic appUI.ui -o appUI.py, I also get an additional import of the icons file which isimport icons_rcin the converted .py file.Is there an argument that I can use with
pyside2-uicthat will ignore that import because I want to keep the icons.qrc file in a separate location and import it from there in my main file.

I don't see anything to ignore rc, but --from-imports might be what you want? It'll use a relative path to the imported file.

I don't havepyside2-uic, but I don't see that--from-importsdoes anything other than alterimport ...tofrom . import ....There isn't a way to suppress importing
icons_rc. Butpyside2-uicis just some Python script itself, so easy to change. I look in https://github.com/pyside/pyside2-tools/blob/dev/pyside2-uic to see its source. Theimport-writing function,def write_import(), is at https://github.com/pyside/pyside2-tools/blob/f68388cf547c0d63a5d4a145f65aa9fa90529d52/pyside2uic/Compiler/misc.py#L27 (called from https://github.com/pyside/pyside2-tools/blob/f68388cf547c0d63a5d4a145f65aa9fa90529d52/pyside2uic/Compiler/compiler.py#L99). I'm sure you could tweak that to exclude youricons_rcif required.Or, write a couple of lines script file to edit the
.pyfile in-place to remove that line. -

I'm withuicfrom PySide6 currently but some time ago my project was on PySide2 and it had a lot of ui-files at that time translated to python withpyside2-uic.
What looks strange for me - this lineimport icons_rc, how it appears in you py-file.
I.e. whatpyside2-uicdoes - it translates one file format (ui) into another (py). And in my case there was no such line. It brings a thought into my head that your initial ui-file is somehow linked with qrc-resource file that your use. Is it true?
I.e. I see 2 options here:- your don't need resources in your ui-file but by some reason it contains it. Then you should clean your source ui-file (To be on a safe side you may create a brand new ui-file with a couple of simple widgets and pass it to uic in order to see if this line appear in output or not)
- you use resources in your ui-file, for example to have some icons in some places. In this case I belive it is some architectural restriction about how Qt expects your project should be sturctured. In this case probably more brainstrorming is needed about what you actually want to achieve.

I'm too new to this to suggest a proper solution... but this seems to work for my for pyside6 to correctly import the _rc.py filepyside6-uic appUI.ui -o appUI.py --absolute-imports --python-paths ./icons/Note: When I run pyside6-uic --help I see the following
--rc-prefix Python: Generate "rc_file" instead of "file_rc" importThis suggest to me that you are expected to name of your compiled resource python files to either prefix or suffix with rc_ or _rc respectively.
