I don't think so - you'd probably have to write an interpreter plugin
or something yourself. Robin's idea is sound, though. When I needed a
really complex grid layout for Kura, I decided not to try to bend PyQt's
grid class to my wishes, but to use a HTML table that was displayed by
the khtmlw HTML widget. Of course, when Qt 2 is bound, I'd use the
canvas class.
