Hello Alessandro,

I just published a library that allows you to do _just this_. See: 
https://github.com/shuhaowu/pvpyfilter

The example covers exactly this and specifically you can use the property:

double_slider = Double("double with slider", default=0.5, slider=[0.0, 
1.0], help="double with slider between 0.0 and 1.0 and a default of 0.5")

Let me know if the library works for you or if you encounter any bug as 
it is still early days for this library.

Cheers,
Shuhao
