Description Hugo Parente Lima 2010-01-21 15:35:11 EET

QString implementation of buffer interface can cause memory corruption, because
it delivery to Python a pointer of the internal data of a QByteArray which will
be deleted at the end of scope.

Following our internal discussions, the fix will be not support buffer
interface on QStrings.
