Hi!
While rebuilding the python related packages against the python version
3.15rc1 we found that pyqt5 fails to build from source[1]. This is due
to the removal of PyWeakref_GetObject which was deprecated in python
3.13. I'm attaching a patch that's almost identical to the one needed
for pyqt6.
Please consider applying this or a similar patch in your next upload.
Happy hacking,

Description: Fix build against Python 3.15 by using PyWeakref_GetRef
PyWeakref_GetObject was deprecated in Python 3.13 and removed in Python 3.15.
Replace its usage with PyWeakref_GetRef, properly handling strong references
and providing a compatibility fallback for older Python versions and limited API.
