[Qgis-developer] Is there an advantage in using pyuic on command line instead of uic.loadUi in plugin source?

[Nathan Woodrow]

I normally do it this way:

base, widget = uic.loadUiType('myui.ui')

class MyWidget(base, widget):
    def __init__(self, parent=None)
         super(MyWidget, self).__init__(parent)
