Thanks Scott, I clearly missed that in the Python 3.10 changes list.

Personally my app uses floats in addition to ints for widget calculations
because Qt recommends floats for dealing with High DPI support. Yet things
like QRectF cannot be used everywhere QRect can be (for instance),
necessitating the use of the older int based variants.

Off topic, but if only I understood why a simple pickle.dumps() on Fedora's
Python 3.10 can generate this error: SystemError: PY_SSIZE_T_CLEAN macro
must be defined for '#' formats
