The pyqt-version released in the beginning of march did not bring any
enhancement. I tried py2.6-qt4.8.4-x32 and py3.3-qt5.0.1-x32.


The lines of code in question:

params = [QVariant(x) for x in ("http://qt-project.org", 0, "", "", "")]

# works (axc is a browser-activeX in the example)
axc.dynamicCall("Navigate(QString, QVariant&, QVariant&, QVariant&, \
                QVariant&)", *params)

# does not work (means the python statement executes without error but
# the activeX complains about bad arguments)
axc.dynamicCall("Navigate(QString, QVariant&, QVariant&, QVariant&, \
                 QVariant&)", params)
