[PyQt] BUG: pyqtSignal('QString') vs pyqtSignal(['QString']) causes crash

[Demetrius Cassidy]

I am not sure if passing a string by itself to pyqtSignal is correct, but
shoulden't it raise an exception instead of crashing? I don't see why we
can't use this form instead.

If I use the latter form of pyqtSignal(['QString']), passing it a list of
strings, everything works great. If I pass it a quoted string, I get a crash
in QtCore.pyd using the latest nightly build (0409)

Simple test case, replace pyqtSignal('QString') with pyqtSignal(['QString'])
and it works OK.

import sys
from PyQt4 import QtGui, QtCore


class mainDlg(QtGui.QDialog):
	
	clickEvent = QtCore.pyqtSignal('QString')
	
	def __init__(self):
		QtGui.QDialog.__init__(self)
		self.setObjectName('Dialog')
		self.resize(120, 120)
		self.crashButton = QtGui.QPushButton()
		self.crashButton.setText('Crash!')
		self.verticalLayout = QtGui.QVBoxLayout(self)
		self.verticalLayout.setObjectName("verticalLayout")
		self.verticalLayout.addWidget(self.crashButton)
		QtCore.QMetaObject.connectSlotsByName(self)
		
		self.crashButton.clicked.connect(self.doCrash)
		self.clickEvent.connect(self.OnEvent)
		
		
	def doCrash(self):
		self.clickEvent.emit('omgwtfbbq') <- crashes here
		
	def OnEvent(self, txt):
		pass
		
		
app = QtGui.QApplication(sys.argv)	
dlg = mainDlg()
dlg.show()
