Yes, QJsEngine is what we plan (pun!) to use for KReport exclusively
for official extension APIs and automation. Not this year but always
good to know...
Python is just insecure for public scripts.
And since KReport seems to be also used by Plan, there's some
opportunity to use a common scripting stack.
For best experience maybe even a single JS engine instance for various
tasks (Plan-specific, KReport-specific, etc.) in a single app.
