That sounds encouraging.  But it lacks a little detail - like how does
one embed python (PyQt) into a C++ app.  The sip I sort of understand
and it is doable.  I only need a few C++ classes and that makes sense.
But I don't have a clue how or where to start on embeding PyQt.  Does
someone have an example or a link explaining the details.
