Hi,

I've never tried this myself, but I've seen a couple blogs recently mentioning a QML + Python combination:
* http://blogger-mikael.blogspot.com/2010/09/qml-signals-and-pyside.html (includes example)
* http://blog.qt.nokia.com/2010/09/03/unifying-users-web-tv-experiences-via-social-media-with-qt-quick/
