[PyQt] Flexible __init__ and method chaining.

2009-12-08 Thread ukpyr666 
 Direct translation of C++ API results in huge initialization code 
where it can be done with 1 line.
 To decrease initialization code it will be useful if __init__ of PyQt4 
classes can take additional parameters from **kwargs and auto call 
setXXX methods to set them.

 Also setXXX can return self for method chaining.

That was added in PyQt v4.6.

   Also setXXX can return self for method chaining.

Use the QObject.pyqtConfigure() method added in PyQt v4.6.
