Description Damon Lynch 2021-10-25 06:04:50 UTC
Description of problem:

Python 3.10 and python-qt5-5.15.0-13 fail when doing this:
 
>>> from PyQt5.QtCore import QByteArray
>>> import pickle
>>> pickle.dumps(QByteArray(b"test"))
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
SystemError: PY_SSIZE_T_CLEAN macro must be defined for '#' formats

The bug has been fixed upstream and will be released in the next "snapshot", without having yet been formally released by the PyQt5 developer. The developer says the fix affects both PyQt5 and Pyqt5-sip.

See for details https://www.riverbankcomputing.com/pipermail/pyqt/2021-October/044317.html


This affects all PyQt5 programs in the Fedora archive  that attempt to pickle QByteArray, such as Rapid Photo Downloader.


Version-Release number of selected components:

python-qt5-5.15.0-13.fc35
python3.10-3.10.0-1.fc35

Comment 1 Damon Lynch 2021-10-31 22:12:27 UTC
The PyQt5 developer has released PyQt 5.15.6, which I can confirm has fixed the bug.

Comment 2 Rex Dieter 2021-11-02 15:18:44 UTC
I'll look into updating the stack for f35 thanks.
