To make it more pythonic for python-3. You can set the api to v2 with
python-2, but it is not the default.

I think the change being discussed is only necessary when the QString
api is set to v2. So, we should be able to do something along the
lines of:
import sip
try:
if sip.getapi("QString") > 1:
# support the new api
else:
# support the old api
except (AttributeError, KeyError): # call to getapi may fail with
older versions of sip
# support the old api

I think it should be, if the fix does not break backward compatibility
with <PyQt4-4.6.
