How to use Qxt libraries on PyQt?

Question

First of all, please excuse my bad English. I hope you guys understand what I am saying.

I have developed the server and client system. The server side is based on Qt, and the client side is based on PyQt. (I wanted to build the client based on Qt too, but there were no other choices because of several issues).

To communicate each other, I use QLocalSocket. But it is not enough. I want to use Signal and Slot via network.

Fortunately, I found out QxtRPCPeer. It exactly supports what I want to do. However, unfortunately, I couldn't find how to use QxtRPCPeer on Python (PyQt).

I tried to use SIP, but I have no experiences about it and there is no enough time to study SIP by myself.

I hope there is another way to implement signal/slot via network between Qt and PyQt. I await for your response, and keep studying it too.

Grepping through both pyqt and pyside source code shows neither project has bindings for Qxt.

There's a project on google code, no code published yet: http://code.google.com/p/pyqxt/

Bindings with very narrow focus, only global shortcut: https://github.com/jmatt/pygs

I'm afraid as it stands now, you can't have what you want.

If it is acceptable, write rpc shim in C++ and wrap it in a Python module.
