[PyQt] Casting from QSettings

[Prafulla Kiran]

Hi Lokev,

According to the Qt API docs, QVariant's toInt method returns a tuple 
with the first field being the value and
the second field  - a boolean indicating whether or not the casting went 
fine. Hence you would have to use

settings.value("MoneySpent", 0).toInt()[0]   to retrieve the int value

Regards,
