[PyQt] QVariant misunderstandings

[Giovanni Bajo]

Hi Phil,

I must say I have not quite followed up all the developments wrt
QVariant. I'm using Python 2 and thus the QVariant v1 API.

Shouldn't the following work as intuitevely expected?

>>> from PyQt4.Qt import *
>>> a = QString("ciao")
>>> QVariant(a).toString()
PyQt4.QtCore.QString(u'')
>>> QVariant(a).type()
127

Why should a plain QString be inserted within the QVariant as a custom
type?

I'm using SIP 4.9.3 and PyQt 4.6.2 (unless I've broken something with my
internal merges).
