a pyqtSignal(QString).
To: Debian Bug Tracking System <submit at bugs.debian.org>


Package: pyqt4-dev-tools
Version: 4.11.3+dfsg-2
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

   * What led up to the situation?
Defined a class with signals:
class Blahwoof(QMainWindow):
    helpsig = pyqtSignal(str)
    ...

Connected the signal to a function:
    def react(self, sig='poof'):
        self.helpsig.emit(sig)

Defined a function catching that signal, but instead of a <str> a
<QString> was received.

If I define the signal as:
    helpsig = pyqtSignal(object)

the function receives a <str>.

This happens since about 4.11.2+dfsg-1, before it worked fine with the
pyqtSignal(str) definition.

I suppose it's an upstream item.

Brgds, e.
