That workaround works well - thanks.

numpy numbers have their own type (there are actually several types as you 
can choose the precision), so that's probably what causes the QVariant 
problems:

In [1]: import numpy

In [2]: a = numpy.array([1.])

In [3]: type(a[0])
Out[3]: <type 'numpy.float64'>
