The problem is that you should convert QString's into unicode or str strings 
to send them with XML-RPC. Use something like this:


def postWordpress(self):
        wordpress = unicode(ui.lineEdit.text())
        username = unicode(ui.lineEdit_2.text())
        password = unicode(ui.lineEdit_3.text())

        post_title = unicode(ui.lineEdit_4.text())
        post_body = unicode(ui.textEdit.toPlainText())

        # prepare client object
        wp = wordpresslib.WordPressClient(wordpress, username, password)

        # select blog id
        wp.selectBlog(0)

        # create post object
        post = wordpresslib.WordPressPost()
        post.title = post_title
        post.description = post_body

        # publish post
        idNewPost = wp.newPost(post, True)
        ui.label_12.setText("Your post is successfully published!")
