That sounds like a cumbersome and error-prone way of testing PyQt
applications.

What benefits would that give you over using the QtTest API[1] to
interact with your widgets?

I can also recommend pytest-qt[2] which comes with a lot of other
helpful stuff.

It's a plugin for pytest[3], which I can highly recommend as well.

(disclaimer: I'm a contributor/maintainer for both pytest and
pytest-qt, but that only happaned because I liked them a lot :P)
