[PyKDE] SIP-20041231 enum issue

[Gerard Vermeulen]

Would it be to relax the type checking of enum parameters in SIP generated wrappers, so that both an int argument
and an enum argument are accepted?

I have to change two PyQwt examples to make them work with the current behaviour. Python pseudo code follows:
...
FIXME = True # Set to True when explicit casts of a 'Python int' to a 'SIP-4.2 enum' are required.
...
        # Example 1
        # Translation of C++:
        # for (int c=0; c<QColorGroup::NColorRoles; c++)
        #     colorGroup.setColor(c, QColor());
        for c in range(QColorGroup.NColorRoles):
            if FIXME:
                c = QColorGroup.ColorRole(c) # SIP-4.2 needs this "cast" :-/
            colorGroup.setColor(c, QColor())
...
	# Example 2
        # make sliders
	# QwtSlider.BgSlot and QwtSlider.BgTrough are enums, and accepted as such
        sldV1 = QwtSlider(self, "", Qt.Vertical, QwtSlider.Left,
                          QwtSlider.BgSlot)
        sldV2 = QwtSlider(self, "", Qt.Vertical, QwtSlider.None,
                          QwtSlider.BgTrough)
        if FIXME:
            # Apparently QwtSlider.BgSlot | QwtSlider.BgTrough is not seen as an enum by SIP-4.2.
            # Therefore a cast is required :-(
            sldV3 = QwtSlider(
                self, "", Qt.Vertical, QwtSlider.Right,
                QwtSlider.BGSTYLE(QwtSlider.BgSlot | QwtSlider.BgTrough))
        else:
            # SIP <= 4.1.1 is happy with the next statement
            sldV3 = QwtSlider(self, "", Qt.Vertical, QwtSlider.Right,
                              QwtSlider.BgSlot | QwtSlider.BgTrough)

I would expect that one can pass a Python int as well as a SIP-4.2 enum argument into an enum parameter
of a function wrapped by SIP (a C++ function with a C++ enum parameter accepts C++ int arguments).

Especially example 2 is very quirky, IMO.
