[PySide] Help with resource files

[Algis Kabaila]

Sean, thanks for letting me know that you actually used 
PySideSimplicissimus to learn PySide - makes me feel that writting it was 
worth while!

To reiterate, and hopefully making clearer, my earlier remarks in this 
list.  Python's print command prints text string objects what your program 
snippet via PySide (or PyQt for that matter) returns is not a text string 
object.  

To make it a text object one could try to use QplainTextEdit object which 
may have methods to read your "texty" object and does have a method to 
"disgorge" a text (that can be printed with Python print() method).

I really did not see why one would want to use such inefficient way of 
carrying text - there is much more data in the encoded format than plain 
text.  I think I now see why - you want to distribute your program as one 
file that can be run with 
python <your program name>
Is that right?
And you frown upon the possibility of running it as
python <your program name> <a blob of data to read>

Is that roughly the situation?
Al.
