It needs to be a QObject, more specifically we want it to inherit from QWidget 
...which is why SIP looks like such a good match.

So, if I inherit a C++ object from QWidget and write a sip binding, then I'm 
set.  That's what I thought, but what I was hoping for was some way to 
automatically generate this "in between" object.

Here is what I'm trying to do:

Let's say I need to add some slots to QWidget and a couple of methods, I then 
need to embed this on a dialog box made by someone else in C++.  That dialog 
box needs access to these additional methods and slots.  

>From what I'm seeing in the responses, I would write a C++ class(QMyddrin) 
that inherits from QWidget and adds these methods.  Then my python ocde I 
would inherit from QMyddrin and it should all work as long as I do the 
conversion from Py_Object to CppPointer (I forget the call name.)

That may be enough becuase I can probably modify some existing python 
introspection code that I have to spit out the .h, .cpp and .sip files fairly 
easily.
