This module contains factory functions that attempt
to return Qt submodules from the various python Qt bindings.

It also protects against double-importing Qt with different
bindings, which is unstable and likely to crash

This is used primarily by qt and qt_for_kernel, and shouldn't
be accessed directly from the outside
