[Qgis-developer] Adding python bindings for quickprint

[Tim Sutton]

Hi Martin

A bit more on this - I discovered my patch actually wasnt  compiling properly:

/Users/timlinux/dev/cpp/qgis/src/gui/qgsquickprint.h: In copy
constructor 'QgsQuickPrint::QgsQuickPrint(const QgsQuickPrint&)':
/Users/timlinux/dev/cpp/qgis/src/gui/qgsquickprint.h:36:

QgsQuickPrint]'

QgsQuickPrint]'

I saw in som of your wrapped classes you mentioned problems wih
inheriting QObject in python wrapped code - did you find a work around
for that?

Regards

Tim
