Then I would load the .ui file via my script. You would have to dual license your .ui file so that you could use it in your script without the GPL infecting it. Other users of the .ui file could then only use it in GPL-compatible code (I assume that is your intent). As your own script would not have a GPL-compatible license (otherwise what's the point?) you would need a commercial PyQt license.
