[PyQt] Bug in QString comparison

[Giovanni Bajo]

Hello Phil,

this looks weird to me (using sip 4.7.6, PyQt 4.4.2, Qt 4.4.0):

=======================================
$ python
Python 2.5.2 (r252:60911, May  7 2008, 15:21:12) 
[GCC 4.2.3 (Ubuntu 4.2.3-2ubuntu7)] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> from PyQt4.Qt import *
>>> "a" == QString("a")
True
>>> u"a" == QString(u"a")
True
>>> a = u"\u30b5"
>>> b = QString(a)
>>> a
u'\u30b5'
>>> b
PyQt4.QtCore.QString(u'\u30b5')
>>> a == b
False
========================================

Why does the equality operator returns False?

Moreover: I can't appear to be able to print the QString:

========================================
>>> print a
サ
>>> print b
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\u30b5' in
position 0: ordinal not in range(128)
========================================

Thanks!
