Hi Frédéric,

I was also wondering about the scripting capability. It surely makes lots of
sense for C++ applications written with Qt - scripting them in a more
accessible language like Javascript is a good idea for complex apps.
However, in PyQt we have Python built in - you can dynamically load, compile
and execute Python code, and exposing a Python API to Python is far simpler
and more natural than exposing a Python API to Javascript (or a C++ API to
Javascript).

As for examples, the PyQt distributions contains an examples directory.
There in script/ is a smallish example of JS scripting using the scripting
framework, so you may use it to get started.

Eli
