I have wrapped QCopEnvelope with success.

I overlooked that QCopEnvelope is derived from QDataStream. QDataStream
doesn't implement the << and >> operators, but provides writeBytes(),
which should be sufficient... if there wasn't a problem concerning the
data bytes.

One example: Sending a QCOP message without parameters works very good,
e.g. the following code make an hourglass appear on the taskbar
("del e" is neccessary, because the QCopEnvelope sends its message in
the C++ destructor):

e = qtpe.QCopEnvelope( "QPE/System", "busy()" )
del e

Very good. Sending a QCOP message with parameters also works fine, when
the receiver is PyQt, e.g.

e = qtpe.QCopEnvelope( "QPE/Application/elan", "message()" )
e.writeBytes( "HelloWorld!" )
del e

works also as expected.

Now the case which does not function: The following code _should_ make a
string appear on the TaskBar (it's basically the same what
Global::statusMessage() does):

e = qtpe.QCopEnvelope( "QPE/TaskBar", "message(QString)" )
e.writeBytes( "HelloWorld!" )
del e

But the only thing I get is garbage on the taskbar. The message seems to
be received, but somehow the data is not "marshalled" or interpretated
correctly. Or could it be possible (since the message is sent inside the
destructor) that the corresponding char* has been deleted or overwritten
before it is accessed by the QCopEnvelope?

Yours,
