You could check out my articles on Function Testing of GUI applications. 
The examples are with Windows Forms and unittest but all the principles 
should apply:

(Functional test number 1 for Resolver One is that when the application 
starts a Windows with the right title appears. It's about two lines of

The Python Testing Tools Taxonomy lists pyGUIUnit as a library for 
testing Qt. Seems pretty old though:
