[PyQt] regression from 4.4.x to 4.5.x when passing enum arguments?

[Gerard Vermeulen]

Phil,

I have the following SIP specification :

class QwtScaleTransformation
{
%TypeHeaderCode
#include <qwt_scale_map.h>
%End // %TypeHeaderCode

public:
    enum Type {
        Linear,
        Log10,
        Other
    }; // enum Type

    QwtScaleTransformation(QwtScaleTransformation::Type);
    virtual ~QwtScaleTransformation();
    virtual double xForm(double, double, double, double, double) const;
    virtual double invXForm(double, double, double, double, double) const;
    QwtScaleTransformation::Type type() const;
    virtual QwtScaleTransformation* copy() const /Factory/;

private:
    QwtScaleTransformation(const QwtScaleTransformation&);

}; // class QwtScaleTransformation

and when using the constructor in Python, I get the following traceback:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "zarko.py", line 20, in transformation
    y = LoadScaleTransformation()
  File "zarko.py", line 30, in __init__
    Qwt.QwtScaleTransformation.__init__(Qwt.QwtScaleTransformation.Linear)
TypeError: descriptor '__init__' requires a 'sip.simplewrapper' object
but received a 'Type'

I suspect that this was working with PyQt-4.4.x and the corresponding
version of SIP, because this statement comes from a bug report of a
PyQwt user using Ubuntu Jaunty and the problem is somewhere else.
