Missing QByteArray(bytes) overload in PyQt6 docs/types

[Florian Bruhin]

Hey,

With PyQt5, help(QByteArray) shows:

    class QByteArray(sip.simplewrapper)
     |  QByteArray()
     |  QByteArray(size: int, c: str)
     |  QByteArray(a: Union[QByteArray, bytes, bytearray])

and the type hints also support that.

However, with PyQt6, it shows:

    class QByteArray(PyQt6.sip.simplewrapper)
     |  QByteArray()
     |  QByteArray(size: int, c: bytes)
     |  QByteArray(a: QByteArray)

and the type hints also mark this as wrong:

    from PyQt6.QtCore import QByteArray
    print(QByteArray(b"test"))

See e.g mypy:

    qba.py:2: error: No overload variant of "QByteArray" matches argument type
"bytes"  [call-overload]
    qba.py:2: note: Possible overload variants:
    qba.py:2: note:     def __init__(self) -> QByteArray
    qba.py:2: note:     def __init__(self, size: int, c: bytes) -> QByteArray
    qba.py:2: note:     def __init__(self, a: QByteArray) -> QByteArray

despite it working fine.
