Example:

import pymel.core as pm

#    Create a new template.
#
if pm.uiTemplate( 'ExampleTemplate', exists=True ):
        pm.deleteUI( 'ExampleTemplate', uiTemplate=True )

pm.uiTemplate( 'ExampleTemplate' )
# Result: UITemplate(u'ExampleTemplate') #

pm.button( defineTemplate='ExampleTemplate', width=100, height=40, align='left' )
pm.frameLayout( defineTemplate='ExampleTemplate', borderVisible=True, labelVisible=False )

#    Create a window and apply the template.
#
window = pm.window()
pm.setUITemplate( 'ExampleTemplate', pushTemplate=True )
# Result: u'ExampleTemplate' #
pm.columnLayout( rowSpacing=5 )
# Result: ui.ColumnLayout('window1|columnLayout81') #

pm.frameLayout()
# Result: ui.FrameLayout('window1|columnLayout81|frameLayout24') #
pm.columnLayout()
# Result: ui.ColumnLayout('window1|columnLayout81|frameLayout24|columnLayout82') #
pm.button( label='One' )
# Result: ui.Button('window1|columnLayout81|frameLayout24|columnLayout82|button90') #
pm.button( label='Two' )
# Result: ui.Button('window1|columnLayout81|frameLayout24|columnLayout82|button91') #
pm.button( label='Three' )
# Result: ui.Button('window1|columnLayout81|frameLayout24|columnLayout82|button92') #
pm.setParent( '..' )
# Result: u'window1|columnLayout81|frameLayout24' #
pm.setParent( '..' )
# Result: u'window1|columnLayout81' #

pm.frameLayout()
# Result: ui.FrameLayout('window1|columnLayout81|frameLayout25') #
