Hi,

if you are building PyQt for yourself, it takes only moderate effort to add it:
(I'm judging from the .sip files only, maybe Phil had a hidden agenda when he
choose not to wrap this function).

in qt/qapplication.sip, add the following code to QApplication:

QApplication(SIP_PYLIST,bool) /PostHook=__pyQtQAppHook__/ [(int &,char**,bool)];
%MethodCode
    // The Python interface is a list of argument strings that is
    // modified.

    int argc;
    char **argv;

    // Convert the list.
    if ((argv = pyArgvToC(a0,&argc)) == NULL)
        sipIsErr = 1;
    else
    {
        // Create it now the arguments are right.
        int nargc = argc;

        Py_BEGIN_ALLOW_THREADS
        sipCpp = new sipQApplication(nargc,argv,a1);
        Py_END_ALLOW_THREADS

        // Now modify the original list.
        updatePyArgv(a0,argc,argv);
    }
%End


I've not tested this code and only used my intuitions based on earlier work with
sip, so if any errors occur, please check back.

best regards

Torsten
