Qt for Python .ui batch compiler shell script

pi-squared

Please read the updated version down below, as I made a mistake writing this first one. I'm just keeping that mistake here for posterity's sake.

This is ridiculously simple. All it does is loop through every .ui file (a form created in Qt Creator's Widgets Designer) in its current directory and runs the pyside6-uic command on each of them, which converts them into equivalent Python scripts.

for file in *.ui; do
    if [ -f "$file" ]; then
        echo "Processing file $file..."
        pyside6-uic "$file" -o "ui_$file.py"
        echo "done!"
    fi
done

You'll need Python installed of course, and make sure that you have PySide6 (Qt's official Python language bindings) by running pip install pyside6 in the command line. If it isn't already there, the command will install it for you.
The if [ -f "$file" ]; part checks if the file is actually a file and not a folder.

UPDATE: I just realised that it outputs a .ui.py file instead of a .py file. Here's the new shell script:

for file in *.ui; do
    if [ -f "$file" ]; then
        echo "Processing file $file..."
        IFS='.' read -r -a separated <<< "$file"
        pyside6-uic "$file" -o "ui_${separated[0]}.py"
        echo "done!"
    fi
done

IFS='.' read -r -a separated <<< "$file" is equivalent to separated = file.split('.') in Python.
