-Subject: [PATCH] Fix Python3 and Python2 text handling.
-
-Somehow when refactoring the CMakeLists and fixing the duplicated
-definitions, the SIP options for Python 2 and Python 3 got swapped,
-causing all sorts of subtle bugs (i18n() failing on Python3, encoding
-errors from QString on Python 2). This patch fixes the behavior.
-
-Thanks to Phil Thompson for finding out the cause.
-
-This fix will also be forward-ported to master.
