Looks like I finally got what I was after.
This thread seems to be the solution for my situation (combined with
Sean's QThreadPool example):

Thanks everybody for bearing with me.

Hi Florian,
thanks for the reply. This entire thread was posted here, not sure why
it wouldn't show up for you.

It's python code that calls calls other python code which eventually
calls external image processing programs to do some heavy lifting,
which print their progress to stdout. E.g.:
dummyFunction() calls fucntionA() which calls fucntionB() which runs
the external program via Popen.subprocess.
I'm happy to restructure a bit as long as the functions that deal with
managing the external program stay non-QT so they can be used via
command line without QT present.
Cheers,

The question is how do I emit the stdout from dummyFunction() while it's
running (it takes a minute or so to finish all sorts of tasks)? Do I have to
move it to an extra thread again and connect to that?
There are some solutions I can imagine for this - but it all really
depends on how dummyFunction() looks and how it prints to stdout.
(Can't you just make it do something more sane than printing to
stdout?)
