[PySide] Help importing compiled Qt resource file from subfolder

[Alex Strickland]

Hi Adrian


Is that line the same as:


     images.compiledresource_rc import anyFunction


That is, just importing any function will wire up resources like icons 
etc? I am asking on behalf of a team member, I can't try it myself atm.

Regards

Alex
