To add some perspective to this, the amount of code you have to actually 
write for a more representative extension module than QScintilla (eg. 
QtDataVisualization) is 80 lines. For that you get a configure.py with a 
consistent user interface with other PyQt based extension modules, 
support for cross-compiling to iOS, Android etc etc.

I might consider moving the boilerplate to a "pyqtbuilder" module where 
you would implement a class representing those 80 lines and pass it to a 
Builder class imported from the module. However that would mean
that, if you were supporting PyQt4 and PyQt5, you would have to handle 
which version of pyqtbuilder to import.
