[PyQt] sip_api_convert_to_void_ptr returns NULL

[Tom Brown]

What you outlined is what I think I will end up doing. What I am trying to
do is different.

What I have is a PyQt4 application with NO C++ wrapped SIP modules.
I also have a Python extension module written in C++.
I want to pass a QRect from the PyQt4 application to the C++ extension
module and cast it from a PyObject * to a QRect * and be able to access all
of the public methods on the QRect.

The reason for doing this is to push some processing down into the C++
extension module to get better performance in some areas, without porting a
lot of Python code into C++ SIP wrapped classes.

However, it looks like my approach isn't the best way to do this. It is
looking more and more like porting the Python code into C++ SIP wrapped
widgets would be much cleaner in the end.
