[PyKDE] Using some ISO-8859-1 characters with PyQt

[Ted Parnefors]

Thanks Dan!

   I got it working partly, by doing:
	mystring=eval(repr(QString("åäö")))
   atleast so that I could use some functions that seem to work with it.
   I still can't use "print" which still complains the same error message.
   I guess there has to be some other way of doing this.
