[Qgis-user] PythonQT and utf-8 encoding

[Andreas Neumann]

Hello QGIS Developers,

I have a problem with utf-8 encoding when working with python-qt.

UTF-8 works fine within python, but whenever I have to convert it to
QString, I have to call the method QString.fromUtf8()

Is there a more elegant or better solution for using utf-8 strings in
PythonQT, e.g. a global setting at the beginning of the class/file.

I already set the first line in my python script:
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-

and utf-8 works fine in regular python strings, but not in QStrings.

Thanks for any hint,
Andreas
