Description genjix 2010-12-04 08:28:01 EET

Under Linux (installed using PySide repos) and old 0.7.2 on Win 7 (iirc, I
can't remember exactly the numbers) I used to have:

blaa.setStyleSheet(loadStyleSheetFile(filename))

Under Windows 7, it was working but I uninstalled the old PySide and installed
the latest packages.

PySide-1.0.0beta1qt471.win32-py2.5.exe [pyside.org]

Now it throws because setStyleSheet accepts QString and loadStyleSheet returns
a QByteArray.

I don't know which behaviour is correct so feel free to close the bug if it's
invalid. However I'm just letting you know that the behaviour changed ;)

Fix:

blaa.setStyleSheet(str(loadStyleSheetFile(filename)))

We know the behavior changed, it changed because if QByteArrays is implicit
convertible to QString will be impossible to choose the correct overload on
some cases, see bug#427 for more info and a example.

Anyway we failed about writing this change in the release announcement.

Closign bugs after release of 1.0.0 beta2.
