I would like to move away from compiling the uic and qrc files into python code through pyside-uic,.exe and pyside-rcc.exe and into loading *.ui files at runtime. I've found the QUiLoader class and that works to load the *.ui file, but one thing that is not clear to me is what mechanism loads the *.qrc file.

From the docs:
By including the user interface in the form's resources (myform.qrc), we ensure that it will be present at run-time:
What is loading the myform.qrc that myform.ui is referencing?
