[PyKDE] a little (big) problem with .ui - pyuic and unicode support :-(

[Daniel R.C.]

Hello, -I'm not really good in english ... sorry- but I need some help,
please.

I explain my problem -and my not really good solution-, I hope somebody help
me :-)

I'm working with pyqt3.4.x + python2.2 + QtNC2.3 under win32 -but, this is
not a win32 problem-

I'm making a little NC aplication for french people. You know ... "ç é è ê"
I need a lot of not ASCII-7 symbols.

When I convert .ui into a .py .... the result like that:
**** .ui *****
    <property>
        <name>caption</name>
        <string>Gestion d''elèves</string>
    </property>
************

*****.py****
 self.setProperty('caption',QVariant(self.tr(QString.fromUtf8("Gestion
d''elèves"))))
***********

Ok. I know ... I need apply unicode() method to QString but ...

self.setProperty('caption',QVariant(self.tr(unicode(QString.fromUtf8("Gestio
n d''elèves")))))

don't work!! :-( ... I got a "UnicodeError: ASCII encoding error: ordinal
not in range(128)"

but ... when I try:

self.setProperty('caption',QVariant(self.tr(unicode(QString.fromLatin1("Gest
ion d'élèves")))))
all work rigth.

I know a bug in IDLE ... and the problem is another ... I don't use IDLE to
edit python code.
The problem with tr() in qt2.x ... and it's not a problem ... I don't have
any multilingual requeriment

The problem is I need use Latin1 and I need an script to "translate" every
è into a è ... and the same with all other simbols because the Utf8 don't
works fine :-(

I get the same problem when I read a text() or other text propierty .. I
need a complicated use of unicode.(Qstring).decode('latin1') ... or
unicode.(QString).encode('latin1') ...

Finally I get de result ok ... but I think you know a best way for work with
qt2.3.x in french or others languages.

You know? Somebody can share with me your own solution for this problem?

Thank you very much,
Daniel Rodriguez.
