I am Buliding an user interface using Pyqt4 in Python2.7 but...When I clicked Save button there is always a TypeError i.e

TypeError: QFileDialog.getSaveFileName(QWidget parent=None, QString caption=QString(), QString directory=QString(), QString filter=QString(), QString selectedFilter=None, QFileDialog.Options options=0): argument 1 has unexpected type 'Ui_MainWindow'

My code is as follows:

    MainWindow.resize(640, 400)
    #code-skipped



def save(self):
    filename = QtGui.QFileDialog.getSaveFileName(self, 'Save File', os.getenv('HOME'))
    f = open(filename, 'w')
    filedata = self.textEdit.toPlainText()
    f.write(filedata)
    f.close()

def retranslateUi(self, MainWindow):
   #code-Skipped

class FileDialog(QtGui.QMainWindow, Ui_MainWindow):
def __init__(self):
    QtGui.QMainWindow.__init__(self)
    self.setupUi(self)

def browse(self):
    filename = QtGui.QFileDialog.getOpenFileName(self, 'Open File', '.')
    fname = open(filename)
    data = fname.read()
    self.textEdit.setText(data)
    fname.close()

UI_Mainwindow is not an instance of QtGui.QWidget. Use

 filename = QtGui.QFileDialog.getSaveFileName(None, 'Save File', os.getenv('HOME'))

or 

def setupUi(self, MainWindow):
    self.window = MainWindow
    MainWindow.setObjectName(_fromUtf8("MainWindow"))
    MainWindow.resize(640, 400)
    #code-skipped

def save(self):
    filename = QtGui.QFileDialog.getSaveFileName(self.window, 'Save File', os.getenv('HOME'))

to pass QWidget instance as QFileDialog's parent.
