Well, it works ok.  But am happy to try to do it the right way instead.

The only way I can see to do this is to build a sip module which imports
the classes that I need to access.  It looks like that gives the module
handles to the API structure for each of the dependent modules.

Unless I do that, I'm stuck, no?  My problem is that I have some
bolted-on code which was using the sip conversion functions to
e.g. access the underlying Qt classes given a Python handle.
None of the SIP api functions appear to provide for that.

I wondered if sipMapStringToClass might be what I was looking
for, but that seems to require a class map to be passed in?
Am I misunderstanding if I were hoping simply to call
    sipMapStringToClass("qt.QPen")
or something similar?  Surely a global lookup is a reasonable
thing given the names must be unique?

Thanks
