There are two signatures for setContextProperty:

setContextProperty(QObject*)
setContextProperty(QVariant)

When you pass anything that isn't a QObject PySide uses the QVariant overload, 
so when you pass a list of Persons, PySide also uses the QVariant overload, 
but this time it creates a QVariant of PyObjects because Qt doesn't know how 
to handle PyObjects neither QML.

Try to inherit the Person class from QObject, a big overhead IMO, but should 
work *if* QML understands a list of QObjects as a model otherwise you will 
need to create a QListModel and find a way to access the model data roles from 
QML, so your delegate can use them.
