That is quite a bad work-around. If your upstream wants to support PyQt v5.7 (as released upstream), it is better to wrap the value in QByteArray. -- Dmitry Shachnev signature.asc Description: PGP signature ___ Python-modules-team mailing list Python-modules-team@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/python-modules-team

Now this is fixed. However storing pickled strings in QSettings usually does not make much sense. When a non-Qt object (such as bytes) is stored in QSettings, it gets pickled by PyQt. So in your case there will be double pickling. You can either store the object directly, or wrap the bytestring into a QtCore.QByteArray (which is a native Qt object). -- Dmitry Shachnev signature.asc Description: PGP signature ___ Python-modules-team mailing list Python-modules-team@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/python-modules-team
[Python-modules-team] Bug#834875: regression: qsettings can no longer save binary strings
Package: python3-pyqt5 Version: 5.7+dfsg-1 Severity: normal Tags: upstream Dear Maintainer, in relational, I store the session as a binary string generated with the pickle module and save it using QSettings. now the functionality is broken, without changing the code in relational, so it is a regression in Qt or PyQt. I don't know how to try to replicate the issue in C++, since binary strings are a python thing, and I couldn't find how to report bugs to riverbanks, so I am opening this bug in hope that you know best how to proceed about this.
