[PyQt] How to test PyQt/QML applications?

[Cody Scott]

You can use qmltestrunner, but you have to register your Python types so
that qmlscene and qmltestrunner can use them[0]. To register them you need
to use the pyqt5qmlplugin and to get that you need to build PyQt5 from
source[1].

Here is an example of how to structure your code as a plugin[2]. I will
take a look but I think the problem with the second commit in that repo is
that you have to import the first level first.
So before importing import QEMEL.Objects 1.0 as QO it needs to have import
QEMEL.
