[PyQt] Is there a way to run the interp AND a gui?

Ideally, I'd have something like the interactive interpreter, which when I type x=QGrahpicsTextItem(...) and add it to the scene, it appears in the scene. Then I can do that with graphics effects and test out animations.

I'd even settle for some IPC that would translate commands to a seperate process running the GUI, if there was a way to do it (so that then I do x=QGrahicstextItem(...) x is actually a handle to the actual object in another process. But this looks waaay complicated.

Perhaps you could take a look at how it is done in ipython.

When you start ipython as "ipython -q4thread" you have what you seem to 
be looking for. Perhaps it is worth to take
a look at it.
