Description rocher.jm 2011-05-28 23:58:04 EEST

I try to use QLineEdit.setText(instance) with an unicode string comming from a
tupple, and pyside get back the following error:

unhandled TypeError, 'PySide.QtGui.QLineEdit.setText' called with wrong
argument types:
  PySide.QtGui.QLineEdit.setText(instance)
Supported signatures:
  PySide.QtGui.QLineEdit.setText(QString)

signature sound very weird because I understand QString class is no longuer in
use in pyside

I think you are not really passing an unicode instance to the setText method.

This example calls setText method of QLineEdit with an unicode object and works
nicely:

from PySide.QtCore import *
from PySide.QtGui import *

app = QApplication([])
w = QLineEdit()
w.setText(u'Hello')
w.show()
app.exec_()

Comment 2 Hugo Parente Lima 2011-05-30 21:18:30 EEST

I'm marking the bug as invalid as probably you aren't using the right type on
setText method, but feel free to reopen the bug if you could write a
reproducible test case for it.

About the "QString" in the error message, this was fixed in commit:

pyside/2ddeb1b5c83bd30463c04145e2b21e2cd0d61451

Regards.
