While at it, either use unicode instead of str or begin your script 
(before the first PyQt4 import) with:

import sip
sip.setapi('QString', 2)

which would convert all QStrings to unicode strings behind the scenes 
for you, hence your snippet wouldn't have thrown that exception in the 
first place.
