debdiff attached for Jammy

** Summary changed:

- python3-qrencode fails with SystemError about PY_SSIZE_T_CLEAN macro
+ [SRU] python3-qrencode fails with SystemError about PY_SSIZE_T_CLEAN macro

** Description changed:

+ [ Impact ]
+ 
+ python3-qrencode is completely unusable as it will crash with the
+ following error whenever any user tries to use to generate a QR code:
+ 
+   File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/qrencode/__init__.py", line 47, in 
encode
+     version, size, data = _encode(data, version, level, hint, True)
+ SystemError: PY_SSIZE_T_CLEAN macro must be defined for '#' formats
+ 
+ 
+ [ Test Plan ]
+ 
+ Add the following content in a python file:
+ 
+ 
+ import qrencode
+ 
+ (version, size, im) = qrencode.encode("This is working")
+ 
+ im.show()
+ 
+ execute the python script. With the fixed package it will display the QR
+ code.
+ 
+ [ Where problems could occur ]
+ 
+ It is only defining 'PY_SSIZE_T_CLEAN' before including Python.h as is
+ suggested by upstream Python docs. There might be some adverse affect
+ for this but the package is already unusable.
+ 
+ [ Other Info ]
+ 
+ The same fix from Debian is in Mantic.
+ Noble is also affected but I can not mark the bug status as confirmed. The 
NMU fix was lost with the update to 1.2-6. But I have now done a QA upload in 
Debian with the fix and also added an autopkgtest which has the same python 
script as the test plan. So, when 1.2-7 syncs, Noble will be fixed.
+ 
+ [ Original Bug Description ]
+ 
  Python3 module qrencode does not allow generating QR codes using
  function encode().
  
  The attached very simple script dies as follows:
  
  $ ./python3-qrencode.py
  Traceback (most recent call last):
-   File "/home/arrigo/temp/./python3-qrencode.py", line 5, in <module>
-     qrencode.encode("Hello world")
-   File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/qrencode/__init__.py", line 47, in 
encode
-     version, size, data = _encode(data, version, level, hint, True)
+   File "/home/arrigo/temp/./python3-qrencode.py", line 5, in <module>
+     qrencode.encode("Hello world")
+   File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/qrencode/__init__.py", line 47, in 
encode
+     version, size, data = _encode(data, version, level, hint, True)
  SystemError: PY_SSIZE_T_CLEAN macro must be defined for '#' formats
