[PyQt] QList Specialization Class SIP Error

[James Meyer]

  Hi
Thanks for the reply.
Sorry to be a pain, but I'm quite new to SIP. How exactly would I 
implement this as a mapped type?
Do I only need to specify the %ConvertToTypeCode and 
%ConvertFromTypeCode directives similar to QList itself.
Will I reference QList at all in the mapped type specification?

Thanks

James
