[PyQt] QValidator.validate() returns TypeError: invalid result type

[Eric Frederich]

Reading the documentation here...

http://www.riverbankcomputing.co.uk/static/Docs/PyQt4/html/qvalidator.html

... I see that the validate() function is listed twice.
One returning (State, QString, int) and another returning just (State, int)
I would think this means I have the choice to return either 2-tuple or a
3-tuple.

Returning a 2-tuple seems to work fine but I get an error trying to return
(State, QString, and int)

Is this a bug, or did I miss something or interpret the documentation wrong?

Code is below.

As a side note...
I have tried sending this twice before but it never got through to where I
could read it in the archives.
Perhaps I need to be subscribed to the list to post to it??? If so it
doesn't say that on the mailing list web page.

Thanks,
~Eric
