Description Luca Donaggio 2010-05-20 11:46:55 EEST

Method "escape" is missing from the PySide Qt bindings (object "Qt" module
"QtCore").

Comment 1 Hugo Parente Lima 2010-05-20 15:00:39 EEST

Fixed in commit pyside-shicoken/5442c99d143fedb2fd7acd02e6e9d6195c16504d

Comment 2 Hugo Parente Lima 2010-05-20 16:47:08 EEST

Oops, the bug is not fixed yet.

Qt docs says that Qt namespace are on QtCore module, but these functions are
part of QtGui.

Comment 3 Hugo Parente Lima 2010-05-20 17:09:48 EEST

After a discussion with other PySide developers, we decided not export this
function, the reasons are:

- This function is part of QtGui, if we create a QtGui.Qt, this will cause some
headaches with QtCore.Qt.
- PyQt4 also didn't export this function.
- There are functions in python std lib that you can use to achieve the same
goals, like xml.sax.saxutils.escape().

So, I'll mark thsi bug as WONTFIX.

Comment 4 Luca Donaggio 2010-05-21 05:57:52 EEST

Actually I'm using cgi.escape(), so having PySide.QtCore.Qt.escape() to do the
same thing is not such a big deal.
