[PyQt] QIODevice+QImageReader oddity ?

[Attila Csipa]

Hello, I'm fairly new to PyQt (have been using Qt from good old C++
previously) and have a strange issue I did not find a solution to in the
docs or the archives. In the code snippet below, the image reader works
if I specify the filename constructor, but not when I try to use it via
an QIODevice (like QFile or QBuffer). I'm on Ubuntu 9.04, using PyQt
4.4.4-2 with Qt 4.5.0-0 (these are the Ubuntu defaults). Am I missing
something trivial or is this a known issue ? Thanks in advance.

from PyQt4.QtGui import *
from PyQt4.QtCore import *

def chkerror(reader):
    if reader.error():
        print reader.errorString()

iod = QFile("poster_100hours.jpg")
print iod.size()

#reader = QImageReader("poster_100hours.jpg")
#reader = QImageReader()
reader = QImageReader(iod)
#reader.setDevice(iod)

chkerror(reader)
print reader.size()
chkerror(reader)
img = reader.read()
chkerror(reader)
print img.size()
