uic.loadUiType is missing

[lschr]

Prior to 48eecd3, all of uic was imported from PyQt in __init__.py, but now it is only loadUi in uic.py. I understand that there may be an issue with the functions not being present in Pyside. Would it be possible to add something similar to the loadUi implementation?

@astrofrog, what do you say?

[Nodd]

We can import all of uic in pyqt, since some people use qtpy for compatibility with pyqt4 and pyqt5 only. It just need a warning that it's not available in pyside.

[astrofrog]

What @Nodd suggests is fine - I don't have time to work on this, but I agree in principle, provided loadUi itself still works with PyQt and PySide.

[ccordoba12]

Ok, fine by me too.

@Nodd, could you work on a PR following your own advice? I also don't have time to work on it right now, but it shouldn't take too much time :-)

[lschr]

I found an implementation of loadUiType for Pyside here: https://gist.github.com/mstuttgart/bc246b25b8e0f7edd743
Could this be integrated in qtpy (if the author permits it and so on)?

This could be useful, but is it feature complete? we would need to add some tests :-p any volunteers? @astrofrog ?
