[Python-modules-team] Bug#827417: unmatching types with qscintilla

[VA]

Package: python-pyqt5.qsci
Version: 2.9.2+dfsg-1

I just upgraded Qt5 libraries and now functions from PyQt5.Qsci taking a
QString cannot take anything from Python:

from PyQt5.QtWidgets import QApplication
from PyQt5.Qsci import QsciScintilla
app = QApplication([])
s = QsciScintilla()
s.show()
s.setText('foo')
app.exec_()

Raises:

TypeError: setText(self, str): argument 1 has unexpected type 'str'

Using an unicode string equally fails.
Non-Qsci widgets (for example QtWidgets.QLineEdit) seem unaffected by
this issue.
