Creating simple form with qt-designer and pyqt

Question

I'm trying to run my first application in pyqt. My form looks fine when I'm doing preview in designer:

But if I'm showing it from my script I got:

And information in terminal: QLayout: Attempting to add QLayout "" to MyForm "Form", which already has a layout

The question is, what is wrong with my design?

from PyQt4 import QtCore, QtGui

class Ui_Form(object):
    def setupUi(self, Form):
    Form.setObjectName("Form")
    Form.resize(464, 409)
    self.verticalLayout_2 = QtGui.QVBoxLayout(Form)
    self.verticalLayout_2.setObjectName("verticalLayout_2")
    self.horizontalLayout = QtGui.QHBoxLayout()
    self.horizontalLayout.setObjectName("horizontalLayout")
    self.listView = QtGui.QListView(Form)
    self.listView.setObjectName("listView")
    self.horizontalLayout.addWidget(self.listView)
    self.verticalLayout = QtGui.QVBoxLayout()
    self.verticalLayout.setObjectName("verticalLayout")
    self.pushButton = QtGui.QPushButton(Form)
    self.pushButton.setObjectName("pushButton")
    self.verticalLayout.addWidget(self.pushButton)
    self.pushButton_2 = QtGui.QPushButton(Form)
    self.pushButton_2.setObjectName("pushButton_2")
    self.verticalLayout.addWidget(self.pushButton_2)
    spacerItem = QtGui.QSpacerItem(20, 40, QtGui.QSizePolicy.Minimum, QtGui.QSizePolicy.Expanding)
    self.verticalLayout.addItem(spacerItem)
    self.pushButton_3 = QtGui.QPushButton(Form)
    self.pushButton_3.setObjectName("pushButton_3")
    self.verticalLayout.addWidget(self.pushButton_3)
    self.horizontalLayout.addLayout(self.verticalLayout)
    self.verticalLayout_2.addLayout(self.horizontalLayout)
    self.textBrowser = QtGui.QTextBrowser(Form)
    self.textBrowser.setObjectName("textBrowser")
    self.verticalLayout_2.addWidget(self.textBrowser)

    self.retranslateUi(Form)
    QtCore.QMetaObject.connectSlotsByName(Form)

    def retranslateUi(self, Form):
    Form.setWindowTitle(QtGui.QApplication.translate("Form", "Form", None, QtGui.QApplication.UnicodeUTF8))
    self.pushButton.setText(QtGui.QApplication.translate("Form", "PushButton", None, QtGui.QApplication.UnicodeUTF8))
    self.pushButton_2.setText(QtGui.QApplication.translate("Form", "PushButton", None, QtGui.QApplication.UnicodeUTF8))
    self.pushButton_3.setText(QtGui.QApplication.translate("Form", "PushButton", None, QtGui.QApplication.UnicodeUTF8))

And my script which is using it: import sys from PyQt4 import QtCore, QtGui

    from gen import Ui_Form


    class MyForm(QtGui.QMainWindow):
        def __init__(self, parent=None):
            QtGui.QWidget.__init__(self, parent)
            self.ui = Ui_Form()
            self.ui.setupUi(self)
        def execute_event(self):
            pass
        def execute_all_event(self):
            pass
        def reload_event(self):
            pass

    if __name__ == "__main__":
        app = QtGui.QApplication(sys.argv)
        myapp = MyForm()
        myapp.show()
        sys.exit(app.exec_())

I created form using designer and I got gui.ui file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

 <widget class="QWidget" name="Form">
  <property name="geometry">

Answer 1

I would say that you have designed a QWidget in the designer, and you create a QMainWindow. Replace

class MyForm(QtGui.QMainWindow)

by

class MyForm(QtGui.QWidget)
