[PyQt] Python3 Qt4 and string encoding issues

[rohan at kde.org]

Hi everyone
I've encountered this bug [1] and I've narrowed it down to a issue in Python 
Qt.

Here's a test program that I ran :

from PyQt4 import QtGui,QtCore
import sys
app = QtGui.QApplication(sys.argv)
combobox = QtGui.QComboBox()
combobox.addItem("Română")
combobox.setCurrentIndex(0)
print(str(combobox.currentText()))

foo = "Română"
print(foo)

On my terminal I get : 

Român
Română

The accent on the ă seems to be lost on my machine when using QComboBox. Could 
someone advice on how to use accented characters with QComboBox items?

Cheers
Rohan Garg
