Qt Designer set "View Code" to always show Python code

Question

When I click "View Code" in Qt Designer (PyQt4), it tries to show the C++ code.

So, the workaround is to run:

pyuic4.bat test.ui > test.py

to convert the file to .py.

Is there a way to execute the above workaround every time "View Code" is clicked or should I have to always perform it manually?

The answer by @WithMetta in the duplicate solved my problem.

PyQt4 is a library, not a program. What program are you talking about? Qt Designer? Qt Creator? — three_pineapples, Sep 18 '15 at 08:27

I personally load those ui files on the fly without generating python code: something like this works for me:

import sys
from PyQt4 import QtCore,QtGui,uic
form_class, base_class = uic.loadUiType("unnamed.ui")

class MyWidget (QtGui.QWidget, form_class):
    def __init__(self,parent=None,selected=[],flag=0,*args):
        QtGui.QWidget.__init__(self,parent,*args)
        self.setupUi(self)
if __name__ == '__main__':
    app = QtGui.QApplication(sys.argv)
    form = MyWidget(None)
    form.show()
    app.exec_()
