[PyQt] SIP and QString

[Luca Beltrame]

Hello,

while testing PyKDE4's modules with Python3, I noticed that the i18n() calls, 
which accept const char*, are not properly handled in Python 3 (both with API 
version 1 and 2):

In [2]: from PyKDE4.kdecore import i18n

In [3]: i18n("Test")
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
TypeError                                 Traceback (most recent call last)
<ipython-input-3-00970cb5d435> in <module>()
----> 1 i18n("Test")

TypeError: i18n(): argument 1 has unexpected type 'str'

It does work if I pass bytes, but that's not correct, as we're dealing with 
strings here.

PyQt documentation states that char* or const char* would be acceptable with 
strings (Python 3 strings). 

As the original SIP file had custom code inside, I'm attaching it here. I 
looked at it briefly, but I couldn't find why it didn't work.

Can anyone shed a light on this issue?
