Problem Description

Spyder does not start/work with python 3.10. The error returned is:

TypeError: arguments did not match any overloaded call:
  scaled(self, int, int, aspectRatioMode: Qt.AspectRatioMode = Qt.IgnoreAspectRatio, transformMode: Qt.TransformationMode = Qt.FastTransformation): argument 1 has unexpected type 'float'
  scaled(self, QSize, aspectRatioMode: Qt.AspectRatioMode = Qt.IgnoreAspectRatio, transformMode: Qt.TransformationMode = Qt.FastTransformation): argument 1 has unexpected type 'float'

What steps reproduce the problem?

1. Upgrade to (or install) python 3.10
2. follow the steps to install Spyder using pip (python3 -m venv spyder-env -> source spyder-env/bin/activate -> pip3 install spyder)
3. launch Spyder with the commmand spyder

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

Expected: to start the Spyder IDE I see the error

[rear1019]

This is a Python 3.10 “issue” after all. The deprecation has been added in Python 3.8 [1] and is enforced in 3.10 [2].
