Fwd: Bug#978586: python3-pyqt5: There needs to be a py.typed file for pyi stubs to work

[Dmitry Shachnev]

Hi Phil!

Forwarding a bug report I got in Debian. Do you think such a file may
be added/created by sip tools?

Subject: Bug#978586: python3-pyqt5: There needs to be a py.typed file for pyi stubs to work

Package: python3-pyqt5
Version: 5.15.2+dfsg-1+b1
Severity: normal
Tags: upstream

Dear Maintainer,

as it is, the pyi stubs shipped by the package are useless because a typed.py
file needs to be present for mypy to take them into consideration.

This is already done by upstream in several other python packages.

So, this is an upstream bug, but since the fix is simply:

touch /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/PyQt5/py.typed

it could be easy to make a temporary debian specific fix.

Best
