[PyQt] Using Unicode

[Gabriel Hahmann]

Thank you very much Raoul, but as I don't have much experience, could
you be more specific, using an example based on my code?

Are you saying something like this:

QtGui.QPushButton(self.tr(u'&Next >'))

self.setWindowTitle(self.tr(u'Setup').arg(len(self.history)).arg(self.num_pages))

self.topTitle = QtGui.QLabel(self.tr(u'<center><b>Warning</center>')

self.set_status_text(u'Username', True)

label_text = u'Warning'
self.top_label = QtGui.QLabel(self.tr(label_text))

Is that what you mean? Putting an "u" before each string? I´m looking
some information about unicode and python and in a few pages I saw
that is necessary to do something to decode and show this on screen,
is that true?

[]'s
Gabriel.
