[PyQt] Doubt

[Dennis Jensen]

Seriously you are going to go there?  The Designer creates code that 
states "do not touch" and it is so garbled that it is nearly impossible 
to decipher -- so yes it is a proverbial black box -- do not touch and 
do not bother looking inside to see what its doing because it will not 
make any sense -- which because some of it does not make any sense 
because it is not needed.
