QgsPythonRunner(QgsPythonRunner)

Utility class for running Python commands from various parts of QGIS. There is no direct Python support in the core library, so it is expected that application with Python support creates a subclass that implements pure virtual function(s) during the initialization. The static methods will then work as expected.
