   Unless you need to interface to PyQt, I would recommend that you do
NOT use SIP.  SIP is completely undocumented and does some pretty
wierd things.  I'm probably biased just after spending three full days
trying to get something to work, but I find SIP violates one of C++'s
strenghts: "If it compiles and links, there's probably not going to be
any run time errors".  With SIP run time errors can easily happen and
it reminds me of days I used to program in Fortran.

   Try Boost.Python or SWIG.  I've used Boost.Python for the same C++
code that I've used with SIP.  In spite of the very difficult to
understand error messages when I mess up, at least when it compiles
and links, it almost always runs.
