People keep asking this in various places. I seem to remember helping someone
write some code to put Qt objects into the WebKit JavaScript environment
fairly recently. I always refer back to some code I wrote last year for this:

An extreme example can be found here:

Unfortunately, there are only C++ versions of the QWebElement examples:

  http://doc.qt.nokia.com/4.7-snapshot/webkit-domtraversal.html
  http://doc.qt.nokia.com/4.7-snapshot/webkit-simpleselector.html

However, it should be quite easy to port these to Python.
