Thank you for this link <https://bugs.python.org/issue36048>. I had
wondered why lots of production code using PyQt was breaking upon updating
old Linux installations, but I simply had no time to look into it and froze
Python package versions, thinking it's the usual stuff with Guido van
Rossum doing *things.*

The PySide6 behavior described by Mark Dickinson in your link seems ideal,
to me. Here's my vote for making PyQt adopt the same behavior.

It is appropriate for an interface to a C++ library, because C++ does and
always will do implicit float / int conversion, except when explicitly
forbidden by use of asserts with the type_traits library, overloads, etc.

Thanks,
Erik
