How about a producer/consumer kind of thing. That is, define an interface that 
KisPaintDevice can use to fill its KisPixelData, and pass that to 
KisPaintDevice:

class PixelProducer {
	imageType() = 0;
	depth() = 0;
	boolean nextPixel(Pixel & p) = 0;
}


KisPaintDevice::fillWithPixels(PixelProducer source) {
	if source -> depth == depth() && source -> imageType() == imageType() {
		Pixel p;
		int i = 0;
		KisPixelData data;
		while (nextPixel( &p)) {
			data[i] = p;
			i++;
		}
	}
}

Or something like that, but proper C++, and not an unholy mixture of C++ and 
Python, but anyway, that kind of idea.
