Description Matti Airas 2010-09-01 07:35:00 EEST

QChar has been removed when PSEP 101 was implemented. This had one awkward
consequence: also the enums are gone. For example, the example textobject.py
refers to QtCore.QChar.ObjectReplacementCharacter, which does not exist any
more.

What to do? :-) Should the enums be still retained even though QChar itself is
gone?

Comment 2 Matti Airas 2010-09-01 07:49:31 EEST

Comparing to PyQt, they don't implement the enums either:

        try:
            # Python v2.
            orc = unichr(0xfffc)
        except NameError:
            # Python v3.
            orc = chr(0xfffc)

Comment 3 Hugo Parente Lima 2010-09-01 10:59:02 EEST

Most functions of QChar can be found in unicodedata object in python, although
I didn't find a constant in Python for this character, maybe I didn't search
enough or maybe this constant just doesn't exists in python libs.

IMO exporting the QChar enums without a QChar class will just confuse the
people, besides the only missing part is this constant.

Fair enough, just wanted to hear your opinion. I'm resolving this as WONTFIX.
Or should it rather be invalid?

Comment 5 Hugo Parente Lima 2010-09-01 14:28:12 EEST

Invalid, it's not a bug or exceptional behaviour.
