Description Matti Airas 2010-08-24 08:35:28 EEST

Script printing out the error.

I began reviewing and fixing PySide examples so that they would run properly.

I modified examples/designer/calculatorform/calculatorform.py so that
PySide.QtGui.QLabel.setText is called with an int value. I get the following
error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./calculatorform.py", line 42, in on_inputSpinBox1_valueChanged
    self.ui.outputWidget.setText(value + self.ui.inputSpinBox2.value())
TypeError: 'PySide.QtGui.QLabel.setText' called with wrong argument types:
  PySide.QtGui.QLabel.setText(int)
Supported signatures:
  PySide.QtGui.QLabel.setText(QString)

Given that the end-user interface doesn't deal with QStrings any longer,
shouldn't the supported signature be:
  PySide.QtGui.QLabel.setText(str)

Another matter is that should we actually support such type conversions? That
would be Pythonic but potentially a source for errors. I'll ask the mailing
list.
