But QtCreator also relies on GDB and its builtin python interpreter for the 
pretty printing. The only difference is that they ship gdb with QtCreator. 
To get pretty printers for Qt and STL working with CDT you must install a 
recent gdb with python support. You can only get it from MacPorts or so. 
Google is your friend to get some instructions.
