[PySide] sending QStandardItem() as QAction.data() yields None in receiving widget

[Frank Rueter | OHUfx]

So a better workaround I just found is to write a custom action that 
sends the required data via a custom signal like this:

class CustomAction(QAction):
     customData = Signal(list)

     def __init__(self, icon, text, parent):
         super(CustomAction, self).__init__(icon, text, parent)
         self.myData = []
         self.triggered.connect(self.emitCustomSignal)

     def setCustomData(self, data):
         self.myData = data

     def emitCustomSignal(self):
         self.customData.emit(self.myData)


Seems to work as a band aid.
