Change the import path of rcc module from Qt Designer

I'm looking for a way to change the import path of the rcc module in the pyuic generated python file.

An example pyuic generated python code from a ui file:

    from PyQt5 import QtCore, QtGui, QtWidgets
    
    class Ui_MainWindow(object):
        def setupUi(self, MainWindow):
            MainWindow.setObjectName("MainWindow")
            MainWindow.resize(249, 103)
            self.centralwidget = QtWidgets.QWidget(MainWindow)
            self.centralwidget.setObjectName("centralwidget")
            self.horizontalLayout = QtWidgets.QHBoxLayout(self.centralwidget)
            self.horizontalLayout.setObjectName("horizontalLayout")
            self.pushButton = QtWidgets.QPushButton(self.centralwidget)
            self.pushButton.setText("")
            icon = QtGui.QIcon()
            icon.addPixmap(QtGui.QPixmap(":/gui_icons/res/play.png"), QtGui.QIcon.Normal, QtGui.QIcon.Off)
            self.pushButton.setIcon(icon)
            self.pushButton.setIconSize(QtCore.QSize(32, 32))
            self.pushButton.setObjectName("pushButton")
            self.horizontalLayout.addWidget(self.pushButton)
            MainWindow.setCentralWidget(self.centralwidget)
    
            self.retranslateUi(MainWindow)
            QtCore.QMetaObject.connectSlotsByName(MainWindow)
    
        def retranslateUi(self, MainWindow):
            _translate = QtCore.QCoreApplication.translate
            MainWindow.setWindowTitle(_translate("MainWindow", "MainWindow"))
    import icons_mw_rc

I want to change icons_mw_rc import path to another location to better organize my source files [Example: import qrc_res.icons_mw_rc]. Is there a way to do that using Qt Designer without manually modifying the pyuic generated src file.

The pyuic tool has some options for adjusting the resource import statement. You can achieve the equivalent of your example using the --import-from option:

pyuic5 --import-from=qrc_res -o mw.py mw.ui

which would add the following line to the generated python module:

from qrc_res import icons_mw_rc
