[PyKDE] mysterious dcopext bug

[Kovid Goyal]

Hi,

Calling a particular method using dcopext yields a different result from
calling it using the dcop commandline client. Here's a test script that calls
the method (requires ktorrent)

from kdecore import KApplication
import dcopext, sys, subprocess

app = KApplication(sys.argv, 'test')
dcop = app.dcopClient()
kt = dcopext.DCOPApp('ktorrent', dcop).KTorrent
print kt.maxUploadRate()
print kt.getTorrentNumbers(3)
subprocess.call('dcop ktorrent KTorrent getTorrentNumbers 3', shell=True)

The call to getTorrentNumbers produces a (True, None) when called via dcopext.
However when called via the commandline client it produces a list of torrent 
numbers as expected. 

Using kde 3.5.6. Other method calls on ktorrent work as shown by the call to
maxUploadRate.

Thanks,

Kovid.
