qml doesn't work with vispy

Question

In the process of studying Qt and Qt, Quick encountered a very interesting problem. I wanted to add to my application a widget on which something would be rendered using an OpenGl. I found a small example using vispy and decided to try it. And then something very interesting is happening. The fact is that one of my widgets is written in QML, and when I launch my application, the widget with OpenGL worked. A black square appears instead of the QML-widget. Also in the log the following is written:

WARNING: QQuickWidget cannot be used as a native child widget. Consider setting Qt::AA_DontCreateNativeWidgetSiblings

Here my code:

import QtQuick 2.7
import QtQuick.Controls 1.0
import QtQuick.Layouts 1.0

Rectangle {
width: 200
height: 200
color: 'white'

Rectangle {
    id: lef_rec
    width: parent.width / 2
    height: parent.height
    color: "green"
}

Rectangle {
    width: parent.width / 2
    height: parent.height
    anchors.left: lef_rec.right
    color: "blue"
}
}

In Python:

self.qml_wdg = QQuickWidget()
self.qml_wdg.setSource(QtCore.QUrl("main.qml"))     
canvas = Canvas(keys='interactive', vsync=False).native
layout = QtWidgets.QVBoxLayout()
layout.addWidget(canvas)
layout.addWidget(self.qml_wdg)        
self.centralwidget.setLayout(layout)

Separately everything works, together there is this error. I'm wondering what this problem is?

You must place the attribute with setAttribute():

{your QApplication}.setAttribute(QtCore.Qt.AA_DontCreateNativeWidgetSiblings)

Complete code:

import sys

from PyQt5 import QtWidgets, QtCore, QtQuickWidgets
from vispy.app import Canvas


class MainWindow(QtWidgets.QMainWindow):
    def __init__(self, parent=None):
        QtWidgets.QMainWindow.__init__(self, parent=parent)
        self.centralwidget = QtWidgets.QWidget()
        self.setCentralWidget(self.centralwidget)
        self.qml_wdg = QtQuickWidgets.QQuickWidget()
        self.qml_wdg.setSource(QtCore.QUrl("main.qml"))
        canvas = Canvas(keys='interactive', vsync=False).native
        layout = QtWidgets.QVBoxLayout()
        layout.addWidget(canvas)
        layout.addWidget(self.qml_wdg)
        self.centralwidget.setLayout(layout)


app = QtWidgets.QApplication(sys.argv)
app.setAttribute(QtCore.Qt.AA_DontCreateNativeWidgetSiblings)
w = MainWindow()
w.show()
sys.exit(app.exec_())

Hm, it's very strange, but now when I clicked on QML Area i have this text: **text** — v_sith_v, May 30 '17 at 11:10
