I use it in the same way the regular uic-qt4 is used: you call it at
"compile" time to generate the code that builds up the interface. Since
it's Python code, at "compile" time means "when generating the tarball
to be released", so that the tarball includes directly the python code
in addition to the source. Or it could be at package build time, so that
the Debian package surely does.

I see. Well, that requires that uic is installed of the user's machine.
Which is normally not the case with C++ uic, but seems to be the case
with uic for Qt in Python. (But not for KDE, since it's in the
python-kde4-dev package.)

Please the latter. It is supposed to be an executable on the system AFAIK.

Yes, if I make the file exectuable as well.
