[PyQt] QDateEdit is ignoring the sip API level 2

[Daniele Esposti]

Well, datetime package doesn't support operations with QDate
instances, for example QDateEdit().date() + datetime.timedelta(days=1)
raises a TypeError.

IMHO it's more clear to return a datetime instance instead a Qt one,
like the QLineEdit.tex() method returns a unicode string instead of a
QString if the sip API level for QString is set to 2. Again, IMHO.
