That sounds encouraging. But it lacks a little detail - like how does
one embed python (PyQt) into a C++ app. The sip I sort of understand
and it is doable. I only need a few C++ classes and that makes sense.
But I don't have a clue how or where to start on embeding PyQt. Does
someone have an example or a link explaining the details.

Write the right phrase in a google search and you find things. But I
wonder if this the best solution? It's also old.

Anyone, have opinion?
