So Qt doesn't work without moc, right?

  No, it is possible to hand code everything that moc generates.

    And PyQt generates that metadata to make signals work?

  It used to be much more involved in the past. Of course you could hand write the code, but as it was originally I believe a preprocessor was the only way to sensibly write signal support, something that AFAIK stopped being true around 2003 but by then moc was entrenched.

  PyQt and PySide (both Python libraries that allow you to use Qt libraries) do not required you to use 'moc'.
