[PyQt] Conversion from QML

[B. B.]

So the code would be something like :

# objects... like dicts

d = myQJSObject

if d[ "spices" ].toString() == "pebber" :
    more = "yes please"


if d.property( "spices" ).toString() == "pebber" :
     more = "yes please"




# or for arrays

a = myQJSArray
nbr1 , nbr2 = a[0].toNumber() , a[2].toNumber()

vs.

nbr1, nbr2 = a.property( 0 ).toNumber() , a.property( 1 ).toNumber()



Someone might then expect it could work with string???
( which would fail.. )


s  = myQJSString
firstLetter = s[0]

I think it looks better with the mapping protocol, but personally in my
code, I would always use the property function. This is only because I know
my memory, so when I would have to fix an error 7 months after writing,
I would probably start calling the items() or start iterate..... :-)


What I did was making a convert function, converting QJSValues to about the
same form as the output had before....
( unpack all QJSValues ... ) ...


My very untested version of the convert function is below, if someone
should need something like that :
