[PyQt] Errors without 'import "."' in QML files

[Cody Scott]

This is strange. You shouldn't need to import anything in
components/MainBus.qml to access MainBusButton {} since MainBusButton.qml
is in the components/ directory.

One thing is that you are registering MainBusButton in Python and it is
also registered when you import components. So it seems to me that you are
registering the same type twice.

But the component you are using has characteristics of both. And it is
working.

Let me know if you end up changing it.
