[PyQt] Can't pass a dict to a signal that expects QJsonObject

[Davi Ramos]

Versions of PyQT tested: 5.8.2 and 5.9

Basically there is a signal on QWebChannelAbstractTransport called
"messageReceived" and it's signature is as follow:

void messageReceived(const QJsonObject &message,
QWebChannelAbstractTransport *transport)

According to PyQt documentation, QJsonObject is internally converted to
"dict", but when I try to emit that signal passing a dict that was returned
from QJsonDocument.object(), it fails:

message = QJsonDocument.fromJson(messageData.encode("utf-8"), parser_error)
self.messageReceived.emit(message.object(), self)

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "main.py", line 54, in textMessageReceived
    self.messageReceived.emit(a, self)
TypeError: messageReceived(self, Dict[str, Union[QJsonValue,
QJsonValue.Type, Iterable[QJsonValue], bool, int, float, str]],
QWebChannelAbstractTransport).emit(): argument 1 has unexpected type 'dict'
Aborted

I tried passing an empty dict {} and it worked (although it failed later
cause of other reasons, but the signal was emitted).
