Paho Python client version 1.6.1 and MQTTv5 ResponseTopic

I am using the mosquitto broker with the mqtt vcpkg C++ client.
I can use the v5 properties to publish messages with a reply topic.
When I tried with the Paho Python client, I had no reply topic in the message received on the C++ side.
I followed some guidelines here for the python side:

from paho.mqtt.properties import Properties
from paho.mqtt.packettypes import PacketTypes
from paho.mqtt.client import Client

properties=Properties(PacketTypes.PUBLISH)
properties.ResponseTopic="myreplies"
client = Client(client_id = "client_1",protocol=5)
client.connect("localhost",properties=properties)
publisher.publish(topic = "acquisition/FifoServerParams", payload = "message")

but when the C++ client receives the message in the handler

client->set_v5_publish_handler(
            [&](mqtt::optional<async_client_t::packet_id_t>, mqtt::publish_options, mqtt::buffer topicName, mqtt::buffer contents, mqtt::v5::properties props)

gots an empty props value.

As mentioned in the comments, you need to pass the properties to the publish function not connect

from paho.mqtt.properties import Properties
from paho.mqtt.packettypes import PacketTypes
from paho.mqtt.client import Client

properties=Properties(PacketTypes.PUBLISH)
properties.ResponseTopic="myreplies"
client = Client(client_id = "client_1",protocol=5)
client.connect("localhost")
publisher.publish(topic = "acquisition/FifoServerParams", payload = "message", properties = properties)
