Hierarchal or nested model properties are accessible in QML

This is not a question, just a fact that might be useful.

Suppose you have an object with a property that is an object with its own properties (PyQt code):

@
class Person(QObject):
def init()
self._name ="foo"

@pyqtProperty(QString) # getter
def name(self):
return self._name

class Clan(QObject):
def init()
self._person = Person()

@pyqtProperty(Person) # getter
def person(self):
return self._person
@

Then if you expose an instance of that to QML, you can use dot notation (qualification) to access that structure:

@
import Clan 1.0

Clan {
id: clan
onComponentCreated: {
console.log("clan.person:", clan.person)
console.log("clan.person.name:", clan.person.name)
}
}
@

From the documentation, it wasn't clear to me that this should work, I was concerned that Javascript would prevent it. I suppose Javascript is not even relevant here.

I also want to know whether Python dictionaries could be used in QML. I am supposing not, since dictionaries are not part of C++.
