args is a tuple containing the options passed to Button.__init__ QPushButton
does not take a tuple as its arguments I suspect
> apply(QPushButton.__init__,(self,)+args) ...2
passes a tuple (self, args) to QPushButton.__init__ via apply which turns the
arg tuple into the arguments QPushButton is expecting. In python 2.1 and newer
you can call
QPushButton.__init__(self, *args) # pass argument tuple through to function.
In 1.x you have only apply() to use.
