QtDragon, Linuxcnc 2.9pre, and Debian 12 (bookworm)

Well, I might have go ahead of it all, but I upgraded from debian 10 to 12, and installed Linuxcnc via synaptic and the debian 12 repo. 
Linuxcnc startup fine.  tried an axis sim first.  no problems.
Then tried my qtDragon config.......NO luck.  Not a linuxcnc problem.  It's sure seems to be a qtvcp and/or qtdesigner problem(s).
I run from a terminal window with all debugging on.   see the file below for the terminal output.
As qtdragon loads, it errors (see the 'dragon startup error - initial' image).
If I select 'abort', it totally aborts.
If I select 'retry' one more widget appears, the throws the same error  (see the  'dragon startup error - after couple of retrys' image)

I am out of ideas. 
any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

PS.  qtdesigner does not startup either.   see the 3rd image.....

 

yes a PYQT library changed it's arguments from floats to integers.
I don't have a Debian 12 system so have not identified every one.

Eyecon ran into this and I think he manually fixed it - I'm not sure he gave a patch.
If you put int() around the complaining arguments that should be a quick fix.

Chris. thanks
I think I found Eyecon's post forum.linuxcnc.org/qtvcp/46412-python-fu...-linuxcnc-2-9#247616
He says there it is a python 3.10 (and probably greater) problem, and 3.9 is no problem.
Am I reading that correctly?
If so, how could I go back to 3.9?

just checked.  i'm on 3.10.6 currently

not easily I think. he probably moved to an older distro.

Well, seems to be a problem for the not too distant future, that really needs to be sorted out.....soon.
What da ya think???

Ya I should be able to fix things just from your error messages - might take a couple tries.
