Hey Filippo,

we have an example called 'scriptableapplication',
which it seems is the requirement you have.
The scenario is a Qt/C++ desktop application,
from which we embed a Python interpreter,
so you can modify the application with Python scripts.

If you want to check an animation of how that looks like:

(check the GIF under "Embedding Python")

If you want to watch a couple of minutes
from the last webinar on that topic, check this video

(notice the time)
That's an extension of the same example,
but implementing a plugin system on top.

I hope that helps you,
Cheers
