PyQt6: QtCore binding fails to build because of QTimer::timerEvent

[Pierre Bourgin]

hello,

I'm trying to package pyQt6 6.4.0 for Qt6 6.4.1.
Environment: linux x86_64, using clang 15.0.6 and musl libc.


PyQt6 QtCore's binding build fails because 'timerEvent' is a protected 
member of 'QTimer' (see below).

I'm surprised to be the first one to face this problem ..
Does anyone already tried building pyQt6 6.4.0 with Qt6 6.4.1 ?

Thanks - Pierre
