Thank you Jim. I am somewhat desperate here, so please post me if you have ANY 
solution.

As a hack, I am currently trying to write a C++ function that calls connect(), 
but I don't know if I'll be successful (I have to pass the address of the 
python slot to the C++ function, and I still don't know how). 

Can I hope to make it work this way, or am I wasting my time?

BTW, I am using sip 4 from debian sid.

Thanks again :-)
