PyQt and Pivy

[Chump Wad]

FYI:

Tamer Fahmy has made it work.

Using:

Pivy Rev 229
Coin-2.3.0
PyQt-x11-gpl-3.13
Python-2.3.4
sip-4.1.1
SoQt-1.0.2
SWIG-1.3.21

everything works.

10.2.setEventCB works, and SoQt.init returns a QWidget which I can use as
the parent
of my PyQt derived widget, which contains a frame that can be used as the
parent of an
SoQtRenderArea to display Coin renderings.

I can even use an SoQtExaminerViewer, and it can animate the windmill while
I click a
button in my PyQt derived widget and have it's slot execute

Tamer Fahmy ROCKS!
