How to implement setWordWrap(True) for a custom QLabel?

I'm re-implementing QLabel() by overriding its paintEvent.

What I'm doing is, to redraw the text 3 times in order to gain an emboss effect.

I'm using PyQT-PySide and the application is aimed for OS X, which does not support Qt's brilliant effects (shadow et al.). Therefore this is the solution I came up with.

Everything works fine except, implementation of setTextWrap(True). It fails.

What do I need to do to self.text() in order to wrap it accordingly to fit into the label's box?

Thank you.

This is possible using the Qt.TextWordWrap flag which is then added to the drawText() method of QPainter()

Example:

    painter.drawText(self.rect(), self.alignment() | Qt.TextWordWrap, self.text())
