I've come across an interesting issue which has a workaround in python, but
which is, i think, worth mentioning.
QScrollView defines a virtual function
drawContents(QPainter *,int,int,int,int)
QScrollView also inherits from QFrame, which defines
drawContents(QPainter *)
If you derive from QScrollView in python, and implement the 6 argument version
of drawContents, you catch *both* the call to QFrame::drawContents, and the
call to QScrollView::drawContents, resulting in the following exception:
TypeError: drawContents() takes exactly 6 arguments (2 given)
as well as a successful call to the implementation of drawContents that the
python derived class provides.
the solution is to define the python drawContents function as:
def drawContents(self,*args):
if len(args)==1:
return apply(qt.QFrame.drawContents,(self,)+args)
else:
painter,clipx,clipy,clipw,cliph=args
I imagine that things get more hairy still when there are two overloads that
have the same number of arguments but different types.
