But that's exactly what you've asked your script to do! All Qt widgets 
return a QString object when you ask them for text. What you need to do, is 
to convert the QString's to either unicode or string objects, using the
unicode() or str() functions:


   ulist.insert(0,str(a))
   ulist.insert(1,str(b))

(you are aware that you simply append to a list?)

Curiously enough, this same question has just appeared on the PyKDE
mailing list (which, despite its name) deals mainly with PyQt:
     http://mats.gmd.de/mailman/listinfo/pykde

The PyQt documentation contains a short and clear statement on strings, 
namely that Python unicode objects and strings are auto-converted to 
QString objects when used in Qt method calls that expect a QString, but 
that Qt objects always return a QString.

For a more complete treatment:

The rest of the chapter might be of interest to you, too :-).
