I've done things with embedding in the past and never really liked the process of starting up a Python interpreter from within a C++ application. For something I'm currently working on, I decided to do what Matt suggests, which is to build the application as a library - for a qmake-based build system, this basically means changing the TEMPLATE line in its .pro file to TEMPLATE = lib Then you create wrappers for the classes you need. If your application's main() function is simple - creates an application, creates a window, opens it - then you can start by creating a wrapper for the window class and writing an equivalent Python script to start the application. I would put some examples on the (unofficial) PyQt Wiki but it appears to have disappeared again.
