It should just be a simple change to the build, but perhaps I'm making things
too complicated. First things first: can you say how you plan to call the
Python objects from C++? PythonQt is designed for that kind of thing, if I
remember correctly, but I would find it daunting to do the same thing with
sip, although I know there is an API for it.

What I'm doing with the C++ application I'm working with is to create objects
I need in Python, then I pass them to the C++ part of the application where
they can be used. It might not be appropriate for what you want to do, but
we'll see.
