[PyQt] QStringList does not inherit QList methods?

[David Cortesi]

Per both the Qt Assistant and the PyQt4 class reference, QStringList
inherits all methods of QList, but the following code produces the
error message, AttributeError: 'QStringList' object has no attribute
'at'. If I convert the .at(0) to simple [0] indexing, the error moves
on to say "no attribute 'removeFirst'".

from PyQt4.QtCore import(Qt,QString,QStringList,QRegExp)
def trySplit(us,ur):
    qs = QString(us)
    qr = QRegExp(ur)
    ql = qs.split(qr)
    if unicode(ql.at(0)) == u'': # <-- no attribute 'at'
        ql.removeFirst()   # <-- nor any attribute 'removeFirst' etc.
    if unicode(ql.at(ql.size()-1)) == u'':
        ql.removeLast()
    print('sans leading/trailing nulls, split gives ',ql.count()," items")
    for q in ql:
        print(u'>'+unicode(q)+u'<')

It also doesn't seem to have a .size() method, only .count()

OK, so what am I doing wrong?

Thanks,
