If you look at qmetatype.h, you'll see that it should be possible to create a
mechanism to register custom python classes as QVariant types. You just need
to implement Constructor/Destructor methods that call Py_INCREF/Py_DECREF.
Then for each custom python type call QMetaType::registerType(...). This
would need to be implemented in c++ with a python interface.
You could then write a custom QVariant constructor that detects if the python
object's type is registered, and automatically call the QVariant(int
type,void*) ctor, or throws an exception for non-registered types.
BTW, you don't really have to use QItemEditorFactory. You can use a custom
delegate. Of course you still have to return the data as a QVariant unless
you go around the QModelIndex::data function, but that would probably tie the
delegate to the model, which might defeat the purpose.
