From the Qt docs of Qt4.4:

If you wish to do your own drawing you can get a pointer to the pixmap used in the splash screen with pixmap(). Alternatively, you can subclass QSplashScreen and reimplement drawContents().

I suppose this would also work in Qt 3 (or PyQt3); just subclass QSplashScreen and re-implement drawContents() by putting a progress bar on it, and extending the interface with some progress methods.

If you look at the changes between Qt3 and Qt4 you can see how the Trolltech people did that (albeit in C++).
