[Interest] error when trying to emit custom object via QObject.Signal

[Frank Rueter | OHUfx]

Thanks Jerome,

it looks like simply declaring "object" as the signal type makes it work.
Not sure if this is one of those things that PySide just makes easier, 
which might be the reason why I haven't found any info or examples on 
how to "register on meta type" with it.
I'm curious about this but need to press on with a delivery.

Thanks for your answer, I will try and get into the docs for QMetaObject 
some more later to see if there is a better way to handle my case.

Cheers,
frank
