Have you looked at the "LibVLC SampleCode Qt" tutorial on the wiki
(http://wiki.videolan.org/LibVLC_SampleCode_Qt)? It doesn't include
Python but it does give a nice example of embedding VLC into Qt. Last
time I checked, it also worked fine on OSX.

Alternatively, it is possible to get VLC to draw its video into a
QGLWidget and that should work fairly well on all platforms, but that
needs a bit more effort to get things working.
