looks much more like something reasonable to me, and I'm about to go
investigate now.

@Florian

Although I will consider what you have suggested if I have to, as I have
said I have *never* had to know/guess/affect anything to do with encoding
when writing similar code outside of Python/PyQt/Qt and have *never* had a
problem or an error, so I really don't see why I should have to start doing
so now....
