Yes, the qtns_instantiate() function is usually provided by the specific
plugin implementation, via the QTNPFACTORY_END() macro.

I would implement qtns_instantiate() to return an instance of a QtNPFactory
subclass written in Python. This subclass would do what the QtNPClassList
implementation would do in a C++ plugin - this subclass is made using the
QTNPFACTORY_BEGIN() macro in C++.

The qtns_instantiate() function will also need to initialize the Python
interpreter.
