Ah, that helps the problem in my test script. Now I'm encountering a problem 
encoding the input of a QLineedit:

  File "john.py", line 154, in dataFromGuiToUser
    self.user.data["achternaam"] = self.GAchternaam.text().encode('utf-8', 
'strict')
AttributeError: encode

So the problem is that I'm not able to convert the QString to utf-8 (without 
making it a str first, which bails out on UnicodeDecodeError. See attached 
snippet.

Any idea?
