Yes I was hoping to use it in a script outside QGIS, in a custom Python app
using QGIS as a mapping platform.

The plan is to:


   1. Load QGIS via QgsApplication
   2. Open composition
   3. Print composition to .png
   4. Use .png in other app

The other app is a service that run on the computer in the background and
generates maps for search requests that come in, so I can't really use a
QGIS plugn because it has to be automated and run in the background.
