[PyQt] QWebView::statusBarMessage receiving empty QStrings

[Elver Loho]

Hi,

I'm trying to catch statusbar changes in a QWebView and it seems to be
working, but every message is an empty QString.

Here's a minimal snippet of code to explain what I'm doing:

class MBrowser(QWebView):
    def __init__(self):
        super(QWebView, self).__init__()
        self.connect(self, SIGNAL("statusBarMessage(const QString&)"),
self.statusBarMessage)
    def statusBarMessage(self, msg):
        self.logger.debug("Got status bar message: %s" % msg))

I'm invoking javascript from QWebView which then uses the following
function to write to the status bar:

function debug(msg) {
	window.status = "JS: " + msg;
}

It seems that every time the debug() function is called from
javascript, statusBarMessage() is successfully invoked in my code, but
the msg is always an empty QString. Which is really weird. Especially
considering that I clearly remember this code working before.

I'm gonna keep fiddling with it, but I figured that I'd post a
question here in case anyone else has ever come across anything like
this before and could save me a few hours :)

Best,
Elver
