It makes me think that some years ago, for my work, we ask Logilab (a 
french python developpement company) to port konsole (console for KDE) 
from C++ to python. The konsole author provided us a qt-only-based version 
of konsole, written in C++, so it was easy to port to PyQt. But it was for 
PyQt3. The project is here:

    http://www.logilab.org/project/pyqonsole

This is a complete x-terminal emulator. We use it mainly to run ipython, 
which we use as a powerfull input console for a command-line oriented 
application which controls big instruments (neutron spectrometers).

We don't have enough money to ask Logilab to port it to PyQt4, but as it is 
a free project (released under CeCILL, a french free license based on GNU 
with french laws specifications, but still compatible with GNU), feel free 
to use it ;o)

On the other hand, as we only run ipython inside, for our application, 
something like PyQtShell should be enough. So I'll give it a try :o)
