[vtkusers] VTK integration in PyQt (wrong layout)

[mafiaskafia]

I need to create a simple QT application that allows the user to view meshes
using VTK. So basically the program is a window with a frame and a button
(for now). My layout is such that the button must fill half the length of
the window, and the frame (that'll display the mesh) will fill the other
half. For 
experimentation i tried the 3D ball shown here:
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/48105646/embedding-vtk-object-in-pyqt5-window

Note: This is different the example above because i just want part of the
window to be filled by the VTK widget, instead of the whole window.

Here's my code for foo.py:

    from PyQt5 import QtCore, QtGui, QtWidgets
    
    class Ui_MainWindow(object):
        def setupUi(self, MainWindow):
            MainWindow.setObjectName("MainWindow")
            MainWindow.resize(743, 430)
            self.centralwidget = QtWidgets.QWidget(MainWindow)
            self.centralwidget.setObjectName("centralwidget")
            self.horizontalLayout =
QtWidgets.QHBoxLayout(self.centralwidget)
            self.horizontalLayout.setObjectName("horizontalLayout")
            self.pushButton = QtWidgets.QPushButton(self.centralwidget)
            self.pushButton.setObjectName("pushButton")
            self.horizontalLayout.addWidget(self.pushButton)
            self.frame = QtWidgets.QFrame(self.centralwidget)
            self.frame.setFrameShape(QtWidgets.QFrame.StyledPanel)
            self.frame.setFrameShadow(QtWidgets.QFrame.Raised)
            self.frame.setObjectName("frame")
            self.horizontalLayout.addWidget(self.frame)
            MainWindow.setCentralWidget(self.centralwidget)
    
    
            self.retranslateUi(MainWindow)
            QtCore.QMetaObject.connectSlotsByName(MainWindow)
    
        def retranslateUi(self, MainWindow):
            _translate = QtCore.QCoreApplication.translate
            MainWindow.setWindowTitle(_translate("MainWindow",
"MainWindow"))
            self.pushButton.setText(_translate("MainWindow", "PushButton"))

And here is my code for init.py:

    import vtk
    import sys
    from PyQt5 import QtCore, QtGui
    from vtk.qt.QVTKRenderWindowInteractor import QVTKRenderWindowInteractor
    from PyQt5.QtWidgets import QMainWindow, QApplication, QDialog,
QFileDialog
    from foo import Ui_MainWindow
    from PyQt5 import Qt
    
    class MainWindow(QMainWindow, Ui_MainWindow):
        def __init__(self, parent=None):
            super(MainWindow, self).__init__(parent)
            self.setupUi(self)
            self.pushButton.clicked.connect(self.OpenVTK)
            
        def OpenVTK(self):
            
            self.vtkWidget = QVTKRenderWindowInteractor(self.frame)
            self.vl = Qt.QVBoxLayout() #I think the mistake might be here..
            self.vl.addWidget(self.vtkWidget)
    
            self.ren = vtk.vtkRenderer()
            self.vtkWidget.GetRenderWindow().AddRenderer(self.ren)
            self.iren = self.vtkWidget.GetRenderWindow().GetInteractor()
    
            # Create source
            source = vtk.vtkSphereSource()
            source.SetCenter(0, 0, 0)
            source.SetRadius(5.0)
    
            # Create a mapper
            mapper = vtk.vtkPolyDataMapper()
            mapper.SetInputConnection(source.GetOutputPort())
    
            # Create an actor
            actor = vtk.vtkActor()
            actor.SetMapper(mapper)
    
            self.ren.AddActor(actor)
    
            self.ren.ResetCamera()
    
            self.frame.setLayout(self.vl)
            self.setCentralWidget(self.frame)
    
            self.show()
            self.iren.Initialize()
            self.iren.Start()
    
    if __name__ == "__main__":
        app = QApplication(sys.argv)
        window = MainWindow()
        window.show()
        sys.exit(app.exec_())

I would be very appreciated if someone could help me out. Thanks in advance!
