[PyQt] noob woes (but still making progress)

[Jason Hihn]

Well my question is because %TypeHeaderCode is only usable in a class
definition. So, I can't do a global %TypeHeaderCode, and have it apply to
all classes in the file. So I do not know that using the same
%TypeHeaderCode multiple times for the same .h file is legal.

Also, I am not clear on %Import vs %Include. What is the difference between
%importing a sip and %Including it?

SIP doesn't place any restrictions on how many classes are defined in a .sip

file. Normal practice is to have one .sip file for each .h file.

You run SIP on a .sip file. If your classes are split across multiple .sip 
files then make sure they are %Include'd by the .sip file you pass to SIP - 
see the docs.
