I personally don't see a good use case for putting Python somehow within 
QML. QML already comes with its scripting language and bindings 
(Javascript), so unless you are on a religion war, I don't see much 
sense in putting Python in there.

It might make more sense to have a way to export PyQt classes to QML, 
that is implement QMLElement in Python rather than in C++, and make them 
available to QML itself.
