Hi, every now and than I get a really strange exception from PyQt4. It reads "unable to convert a C++ 'QString' instance to a Python object". The exception is a TypeError. Versions: Python 3.1 sip 4.10 PyQt 4.7 Qt 4.5.3 What could be causing this issue? Regards, Detlev -- Detlev Offenbach detlev at die-offenbachs.de
