[PyQt] QFileDialog error

[Martin Airs]

Good day all,

In this test case script I have added at the bottom, It bombs with this error...

[martin at desktop python]$ python testcase.py 
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "testcase.py", line 17, in pressed
    filename = QtGui.QFileDialog.getOpenFileName(self, 'Open file', os.path.split(self.lineedit.text())[0], "logs")
  File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/posixpath.py", line 83, in split
    i = p.rfind('/') + 1
AttributeError: 'QString' object has no attribute 'rfind'


I cant quite work out why, if I take the *os.path.split(self.lineedit.text())* out and put it on a seperate line assigning it to its own 
string it still doesn't work

I wonder if anyone could show me how to get round this, please

Thanks in advance

Martin Airs
