Hi list,
I'm using matplotlib as a library, in a program using the
new APIs of PyQt4, which will be the normal APIs for
Python 3. Unfortunately, the matplotlib Qt4 backend is
not compatible with this new API.
The problems are easy to fix: first QFileDialog.getSaveFileName
has changed, and is to be replaced with
QFileDialog.getSaveFileNameAndFilter, for example with the following
patch:

try:
self.canvas.print_figure( unicode(fname) )

secondly, QString is used in the new formlayout, wich can be avoided
using yet another patch, that I actually once filed as Path #3081405
in the matplotlib patch tracker.
