[PyQt] Qt.MatchFlags AND comparison

[Demetrius Cassidy]

Having a hard time figuring something that should be simple.

If I do Qt.MatchWildcard  Qt.MatchContains, it returns 1, but if I do
Qt.MatchContains  anything else (other than Qt.MatchContains itself) it
returns 0 as expected. What am I doing wrong, and how am I supposed to
compare my flags to a specific flag other than doing bitwise AND against the
other flag?

You need to read the docs more closely - particularly related to the
actual numerical value. It's a badly designed type - the lower 3 bits
behave like an enum (ie. mutually exclusive), the remaining bits behave
like flags. It should really be split into a MatchType enum and a
MatchModifier set of flags.
