[PySide] using QProcess to run python function

[Ryan Gonzalez]

If you put an "if __name__ == '__main__'" and a main functions, you could
always import the script from the GUI frontend. Example:

myscript.py

def main(argv):
    do_cool_stuff()
    return 0

if __name__ == '__main__':
    sys.exit(main(sys.argv))

mygui.py(Python 2):

import imp

...

main = imp.load_module('myscript', *imp.find_module('myscript'))

main.main(my_argv)

mygui.py(Python 3):

import importlib.machinery

main = importlib.machinery.SourceFileLoader('myscript',
'myscript.py').load_module('myscript')

main.main(my_argv)

If anybody ever asks me why I prefer C++ to C, my answer will be simple:
"It's becauseslejfp23(@#Q*(E*EIdc-SEGFAULT. Wait, I don't think that was
nul-terminated."
