Wrapping C++ Qt widget for using in Python with PySide

Question

What is the best approach for wrapping a custom C++ library with custom Qt display widgets in Python for using in a PySide based QApplication? Does the C++ library need special treatment for wrapping with SWIG? Will wrapped Qt widgets integrate properly with PySide?

I would appreciate any comments on the appropriate nomenclature needed to refine my unsuccessful searches on this subject.

Yes, it is an in-house C++ project with a Qt interface. I want to reimplement the main application in Python but use the existing custom C++ Qt widgets and classes as is. — Mike

The Shiboken bindings tool used to generate the PySide bindings for Qt turns out to be the right tool for the job.

The basic procedure for generating the bindings for a custom C++ library is outlined here: http://lynxline.com/superhybrids-part-2-now-qt-pyside/
