Being a newb here, I could be way off base, but one of the selling points I keep reading for using PyQt and PyKDE are for rapid prototyping apps that later get converted to C++. Would getting rid of QStrings not impose a greater conversion burden on these people and thus alienate them? And what would the downstream effect on PyKDE be? John.
