Yes it's possible.  You have to wrap any c++ classes you want to use from 
python using sip.  Then you need to embed python in your app, or rewrite the 
main part of the application in python.

You'll want to first split your app into a library so you can test your python 
bindings from a regular python script or cmd interpreter.  Start with one 
class to get your feet wet and go from there.
