[PySide] What if a slot is not decorated with @Slot()?

[Christian Tismer-Sperling]

Hi Zhao,

there is a configuration problem between Qt and PySide signals and
slots. The Qt signals and slots are assigned once at compile time.

On PySide, initialization is different since some things happen
earlier or later. There *can* be situations constructed which go wrong,
although doing that is difficult. You will not want to run into these
problems by accident.

Please believe me as one of the implementers:
There is only one safe way to create reliable signals and slots.
Use the decorator!

Cheers - Chris
