Hey Aleix,

thanks for the comments.

I was under the impression that changing the 'i' for a 'y'
from P'y'thon was not confusing, because it was already
mentioned in a couple of talks and nobody mentioned
anything against it.

I wanted to avoid qtscript-python because it's not really qtscript,
it's just the main idea from it.

Do you have any other name suggestion?
(I really struggled with finding a name)

> "Script C++ with Python" < should this be "Use Python scripts from

Sure,
it could also be 'Use Python scripts from C++',
(or "Use Python code from C++")
I just wanted to write something simple
like the fact that is adding some 'scripting flavor'
on top of C++ code, that's why "Script C++ with Python".

Following the Qt documentation, and the wikipedia page
from QtScript, some other options are:

"The QtScrypt module provides classes for making Qt applications 
scriptable with Python"

or

"QtScrypt is a scripting engine that aims to be be part of the Qt 
cross-platform application framework."

I'm open to new suggestions :)

In any case, If the name and description are too problematic,
I can continue the development outside the Qt Project,
until the project (and the name/description) are mature
enough that I can request a new repository. Just wanted
to make the code public and accept new contributions
from people that showed a positive response after
the last Qt Contributor Summit [1]

Cheers
