[QScintilla] QScintilla issue

[Detlev Offenbach]

Hi,

I am observing an issue with QScintilla when it has to handle "strange" 
characters like German umlauts or Chines characters. Enter the following in a 
Python (2 or 3) console to reproduce it.

Python 3.1 (r31:73572, Jul  5 2010, 13:31:53) 
[GCC 4.5.0 20100604 [gcc-4_5-branch revision 160292]] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> from PyQt4.QtGui import QApplication
>>> from PyQt4.Qsci import QsciScintilla
>>> app = QApplication([])
>>> s = QsciScintilla()
>>> e = "a"
>>> s.SendScintilla(QsciScintilla.SCI_SEARCHINTARGET, len(e), e)
-1
>>> e = "ä"
>>> s.SendScintilla(QsciScintilla.SCI_SEARCHINTARGET, len(e), e)
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
TypeError: arguments did not match any overloaded call:
  QsciScintillaBase.SendScintilla(int, int wParam=0, int lParam=0): argument 3
