[PyQt] Storing QString/Unicode in Sqlite Database

[Andrei Kopats]

Hi

At first, you should probably use something like
  unicode(some_lineEdit.text(), 'utf8'), if you want to convert string to
unicode.
At second, for me all unicode conversion problems disappeared after I
started using QString API v2. In this case, PyQt methods always return you
unicode instead of QStrings
