OK - the multiple inheritance may be a problem that'll require handwritten 
code,especially if the base object is QObject, since that already should have 
CTSCC code for each class (depending on how the project file is written).

It's designed to handle stuff like that once you add it to the sip file. It'll 
carry forward to each new version (but needs to changed manually if there are 
changes between versions). For most stuff, you only need to write it once.

It would be fairly easy to add the method you described earlier, for example - 
sip is as useful for extending a library for Python as for binding it.
