[Python-modules-team] Bug#697348: python-qt4: uic.loadUi crashed with AttributeError in createWidget() when RadioButtons

[Jerome Kieffer]

Package: python-qt4
Version: 4.7.3-1+b1
Severity: normal
Tags: upstream

Maybe this bug could be rated "critical" as it makes unrelated software on the system break ...

This bug apprears when a group of RadioButtons is defined in a UIC file, see attached example.
It has already been fixed in newer version of upstream (absent in wheezy) and in Ubuntu:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/python-qt4/+bug/514796

Here is an example of patch:

diff /usr/lib/pymodules/python2.6/PyQt4/uic/uiparser.py uiparser.py
184,188c184,185
<                 try:
<                     bg_name = bg_i18n.string
<                 except AttributeError:
<                     print("Error detected %s"%bg_i18n)
<                     bg_name = str(bg_i18n)
---
>                 bg_name = bg_i18n.string
