When I've got more time on my hands, I'll write a small report of a Python
refactoring/porting-to-C++ task I had in an internship job last months.
I think that the bigger problem is the memory usage of Python vs. C++ widgets,
but with the share of memleaks fixed in the last weeks, it got definitely better.

I sometimes thought about a widget collection for PyQt, something nice for a
contrib/ section in the PyQt distribution.
