There are sometimes reasons - some examples:<br>
<br>
- In general, things being async, i.e. not blocking your GUI (QProcess,<br>
networking, QSerial vs. PySerial, etc.)<br>
- QSqlDatabase because you want to show it in a QTableView<br>
- Better integration with Qt in general (e.g. QThread)<br>
- Some functionality which is just nicer in Qt (QUrl vs. a urllib.parse<br>
tuple)<br>
- Some functionality which doesn't exist in Python<br>
<br>
Often, the main drawback is the more complex error handling, as you get<br>
manual error checks instead of exceptions.<br>
