Code:

#!/usr/bin/python2.5
import sys
from PyQt4 import QtGui,QtCore
from portraitTest import *

class MyForm(QtGui.QMainWindow):
        def __init__(self, parent=None):
                #build parent user interface
                QtGui.QWidget.__init__(self, parent)
                self.ui = Ui_MainWindow()
                self.ui.setupUi(self)
                try : self.ui.setAttribute(Qt.WA_Maemo5PortraitOrientation, True)
                except:print("Cannot set orientation to portrait")
                        

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

I finally got it working by removing the "ui" from self.ui.setAttribute(Qt.WA_Maemo5PortraitOrientati on, True), so it now reads self.setAttribute.......

One thing that kinda irritates me is that when I minimize the application window, to see the multitasking view, it goes back into trying to display the form in landscape view so it looks wrong in the small preview pane. Once I click on it again, it expands and goes back into portrait. Is this normal behaviour?
