BTW, is this reference available anyhow to Python? And could I use
sip.cast with this reference to convert the QVariant object?
I totally misunderstood toPyObject and thought that this function
would do this for me automatically for all types.
This would be needed for writing a generic property editor or if an
object/widget (-pointer) is stored inside a QVariant.
