I had only vaguely heard about Lua and had no idea what it was. The 
language seems to be simple enough - although it's still a learning curve.
Anyways, since I'm not much interested in doing complicated stuff in the 
scripts, the availability of large number of libraries (as for Python) 
is not going to be a factor.

Lua looks interesting. I'll try these options (PythonQt and QtLua) and 
post my findings here.

Thanks,
