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

[Davi Ramos]

I way to bypass this (pointed out by altendky) is to convert all the values
of the dict to QVariant before sending it to the signal:

d = {k: v.toVariant() for k, v in message.object().items()}
doc = QJsonDocument(d)
self.messageReceived.emit(doc.object(), self) # that works fine

There's also another issue (which could be related or not to this):

d = {'a': 1}
j = PyQt5.QtCore.QJsonDocument(d)
o = j.object()
j = PyQt5.QtCore.QJsonDocument(o)

That fails:

TypeError: 'QJsonValue' object is not iterable

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
SystemError: <class 'PyQt5.QtCore.QJsonDocument'> returned a result with an
error set

Here is a more readable example by altendky:
