I'd like an answer from Python that included PySide.

Got it. So in the Python world, it would allow writing a non-PySide 
application logic that interacted with QML. Whether it reuses something from 
PySide (like Shiboken) is an implementation detail. Is that it?

Since there's no Qt C++ here, is the name accurate? Should this talk about QML 
instead? Or maybe insert "Quick" in the name?
