   You can adapt this file completely to your liking, but it should at least
   contain the root `toctree` directive.

Welcome to EmbeddedPyQt's documentation!
========================================

EmbeddedPyQt is a small library which can be integrated into your C++
project to add Python scripting functionality.

Every sub-class of QObject in Qt contains meta data which
contains information about names, properties, signals, slots, etc.
This can be used by PyQt to create *dynamic* bindings. 

To make your objects available to Python you only have to make sure
that you subclass from QObject. Every property can be read/written
and every method is callable which is defined as a slot or marked with Q_INVOKABLE.

This is a huge advantage over sip which requires definition files for
each class to produce a binding library. But EmbeddedPyQt will
never be as fast as sip. So if you need perfomance and flexibility
you should stay with sip.
