Hello,

I am facing an issue with latest PyQt4 snapshot and Qt5. It seems that the 
'setSocketDescriptor()' method of 'QAbstractSocket' is not working correctly, 
if PyQt4 is compiled against Qt5. How to reproduce it? Just start the 
threadedfortunes.py script of the examples. Therafter follow the instructions 
given. Trying to get a fortune via the fortuneclient.py script makes the later 
script hang (i.e. no fortune is returned). It seems, that the socket is not 
connected in the server, which uses the incomingConnection() method of 
QTcpServer.

The same issue happens with eric5 and Qt5 in the Cooperation functions.

eric5 and the a.m. example both work fine with PyQt4 built against Qt4.

Please note, that the signature of setSocketDescriptor method is different 
between Qt4 and Qt5. In Qt4 it is using an 'int' and in Qt5 a 'qintptr'. 
However, the type of the descriptor passed to the 
QTcpServer,incomingConnection() call is sip.voidptr (for Qt5).

Regards,
Detlev
