[Qt-qml] interfaces for QML Python Bindings

[Kristian Mueller]

Hi QML Developers,

we've been developing a Python <-> QML interface. It's already working
fine for us and we plan to release it soon.

Unfortunately we need two hooks in the Declarative source code. First we
need access to the QDeclarativeEngines QScriptEngine. This access is
necessary to create QScriptValues via QScripEngine::newFunction. We use
this to make it possible to call Python methods and functions from QML /
ECMA-Script (via a C++-wrapper function). 
Second, we need access to the QDeclarativeOpenMetaObject to build a
dynamic ProxyObject, which represents Python objects in QML.  

Our current solution is to add a proxy-object implementation and a
header-file (files are attached) to the declarative source and build our
"own" version off Qt-Declarative. Of course, we would be very happy if
we could skip this workaround. Is there any chance that:
1. QDeclarativeEngine allows access to its QScriptEngine
2. QDeclarativeOpenMetaObject will become part of the Public API
in the near future? 

It's unfortunate that we've missed the 4.7 release with that, but it
would be nice if we could integrate those hooks.

What do you think?
