[PyKDE] Odd behavior from KFileItem

[Paul Waldo]

Hi all,

I'm seeing some odd behavior from KFileItem.  I use KIO.listRecursive to 
get files:
    def locateFiles(self, url):
         self.kurl = KURL(url)
         job = KIO.listRecursive(self.kurl, False)
         QObject.connect(job, SIGNAL("entries(KIO::Job*, const 					 
KIO::UDSEntryList&)"), self.newItems)

For each of the found files, I create a KFileItem:
     def newItems(self, job, list):
         newFiles = []
         for udsList in list:
             f = KFileItem(udsList, self.kurl, False, True)
             newFiles.append(f)
             self.files.append(f)

Later on, I display the data for each of the found files:
class FileItem:
     def __init__(self, destDirBase, template, kFileItem, parent):
         self._kFileItem = kFileItem
         self.size = str(self._kFileItem.size())
         if self.size == None:
             self.size = "Unknown"
         self.time = self._kFileItem.timeString()

The size always ends up as None.  I've pulled apart the UDSEntryList and 
the size appears to be correct there.  Somehow KFileItem is not storing it.

Also, the KFileItem::timeString is off; for example, "ls" reports the 
time correctly as "Jul 20 11:03", while the timeString reports 
"2006-07-20 3:03 pm".  Is this a locale issue? My "date" command is 
showing this: "Thu Jul 20 13:38:44 EDT 2006".

I'm running PyKde3 and python 2.4.3.


Any light you could shed on either of these issues would be greatly 
appreciated!
