[Python-modules-team] Bug#787197: pyqt5-dev-tools: does not support unicode properly

[Salvo Tomaselli]

Package: pyqt5-dev-tools
Version: 5.4.1+dfsg-2
Severity: important
Tags: upstream

Dear Maintainer,
apparently pyqt5+python3 has a terrible support for unicode, at times.

I attach a .ui file, and some screenshots of the results i obtain.

You can compile it to python running:
$ pyuic5 -x maingui.ui > test.py
$ python3 test.py

On my system, the preview from the designer of the .ui file is quite different
than the window that then gets shown running it in python.

I have problems porting "relational" to Qt5 because of this bug. Until this is
fixed I can't do the porting.

However, when I tried to reproduce the problem with simpler .ui files, it did
not appear, so I am not sure of what is exactly triggering it.

I had posted about this issue on a mailing list, but it was inconclusive:
