I think the SIP syntax is a little different to C++ syntax for these classes
so it can be confusing. Also, a lot of code that deals with templates is
typically for containers and the SIP equivalent uses the %MappedType
directive to deal with those. However, that's not what you want in this case,
I believe.

I put some code in a couple of places that should help get you started:

  https://bitbucket.org/dboddie/pyqt-mailing-list-tempsip

Get it from whichever site you're most comfortable with and configure it with

  python configure.py

Then run make as usual. The module should appear in the modules directory,
but it won't be useful until you wrap specific classes of the template type.
