The secret to enhancing Qt for Python applications
summary
Shows how to use Shiboken (PySide2) generator and clang to produce real Python extensions from C++ by creating three artifacts: a CMakeLists, a bindings header listing the C++ headers, and a typesystem XML. Demonstrates a Qt for Python app that loads a C++ data generator and linear fitter, compares C++ fit to SciPy fit (SciPy is better), reuses PySide2 type system files, handles std::vector ⇄ Python sequences, and excluded template qwt_series_store so qwt_plot_curve bindings build and run.
