Hacking around without really understanding!

Well ... there is your problem.
"Hacking about", "guessing and hoping", "suck it and see": none of these are a development strategy that will hold up in the short term, much less the long term. You don't learn anything from it that is helpful - because you have no idea why it works when it finally does - and what you do produce is of very poor quality that will consume considerable resources when it needs to be modified. And it will - because it hasn't been written so much as thrown together!

There is no shortcut to being a good (or even no-longer-a-total-beginner) coder: you need to learn what you are doing, and practice, practice, practice until what you have been taught is second nature.

Throwing code together, hoping it will work, and asking others to fix it when it doesn't is a route that leads to depression and bewilderment. Get a book, or go on a course: learn the basics before you start on anything complicated!

Hi Griff, thanks for your well-considered opinion, if not for your help. I didn't realise humour was prohibited...

FYI, I have a few decade's experience as a Senior Systems Engineer, and have done my share of production scripting in DOS, PowerShell & VBA. I am new to Python & QT, but I'm taking the trouble to learn it because my latest little project to help save a few lay-people 2-3 hours each a week will be more useful as a cross-platform solution (MS & Mac).

I am NOT a programmer, but I understand concepts of functional programming, OOP, code reusability, style, etc. My particular method of learning is to have a crack, and clean it up as my understanding of the problem develops. Learning by doing, and figuring out how it works as I go. My retention is not that good when I go on a course to learn something, if I don't have a real-world problem to solve straight away. If it is necessary to go on a formal course for tens of hours before trying something, the world would be a much less productive place.

I'm not quite sure why you took the trouble to reply to my post; do you actually know what the cause of the error is? If you're just looking for someone to put down, look elsewhere.
Hey Griff, just in case someone else as stupid as me who shouldn't be programming comes up with the same problem...

CAUSE:

I was running setupUi() twice; once in __init__, once in __main__.
How dumb is that!

SOLUTION:

Remove the ui.setupUi(MainWindow) statement from __main__.
Easy!
