[PyQt] Wrap C++ QWidget Subclass for use in PyQt4

[Kovid Goyal]

That's because PhotoFlow tries to only load a few images (to the left and right 
of the current image) at a time. You can do the same thing in the pictureflow 
widget in calibre by sub classing  the FlowImages class which represents an 
abstract data model. Indeed, calibre uses that class to load images on demand 
from a database.
