Yes, this is something I've been bitten by several times when manipulating
string data that originates from a Qt widget of some sorts. I usually
want to manipulate the strings as Python strings, so I usually do the
conversion immediately when "getting" the string, such as:

	QLineEdit edit
	...

	text = str (edit.text ())

Then I always know that I'm dealing with Python strings, and the normal
Python string functions and methods work as expected.
