Property with a list as possible values for custom widget?

[Panoss]

I tried this:

QList = []

ContainersWidgets = QtCore.pyqtProperty(QList, getContainersWidgets, setContainersWidgets)

But I get an error:
"ContainersWidgets = QtCore.pyqtProperty(QList, getContainersWidgets, setContainersWidgets)
TypeError: bytes or ASCII string expected not 'list'"

It doesn't accept a List, only bytes or ASCII.

I think you need a python head for this :)
Are you using
https://pypi.python.org/pypi/PyQt5

or what version ?

[Panoss]

The previous version, PyQt4.

PyQt4

ok it really should have the qstringlist

http://pyqt.sourceforge.net/Docs/PyQt4/qstringlist.html

[Panoss]

Yes it should, but it doesn't :) !!!

@Panoss
Well give it some hours. Maybe a Qt python user know the secret of
how to have it available.

[Panoss]

https://hub.qgis.org/wiki/17/Python_plugin_API_changes_from_18_to_20#Replace-QStringList-with-list

"Replace QList methods with python list function"

So both Qlist and QStringList are replaced by list.

But is that no QGIS API ?
is that the same as
https://sourceforge.net/projects/pyqt/

It looks as some other binding. So i Guess that is why its not there.

[Panoss]

Well now I'm confused, I don't really know.
I 'll have to 'dig' more.

Should be

QList = type([])

You re right!!!
Now the error is gone!

But my property doesn't appear in Qt Designer.
