Why don't you simply reorganize the code a bit so to provide another
entry point which doesn't create your application? Any PyQt application
should have a main no more complicated than this:

if __name__ == "__main__":
    app = QApplication([])
    w = MySuperMainWidget()
    w.show()
    app.exec_()

just add a function like this:

    def entry():
         global w
         w = MySuperMainWidget()
         w.show()

and you're done with it.
