In the single inheritance approach, the key line you woud have been missing
was:
self.ui.setupUi(self)
.. which would set up the ui onto the current class.
As for the TypeError, your Ui class should be a generic class if it came
straight from designer. Looking something like this:
class Ui_skinWrangler(object):
def setupUi(self, skinWrangler):
If you created that file by hand or modified it, and it was a QMainWindow
subclass, then yea this would not work for you. Usually you just generate
them from designer and use them directly in your implementation,
unmodified.
