It can't be automatically generated if you are adding functionality (the new methods and slots) to it. > Here is what I'm trying to do: > > Let's say I need to add some slots to QWidget and a couple of methods, I > then need to embed this on a dialog box made by someone else in C++.

Yes - but where are you going to put the code that does that conversion? Does the dialog include a method that will embed your QMyddrin instance? > That may be enough becuase I can probably modify some existing python > introspection code that I have to spit out the .h, .cpp and .sip files > fairly easily.
