Re: ImportError: No module named 'PyQt5.sip'

I have gone through them. The closest thing I found that applies might be:

https://www.riverbankcomputing.com/static/Docs/sip/introduction.html#support-for-old-versions-of-python <https://www.riverbankcomputing.com/static/Docs/sip/introduction.html#support-for-old-versions-of-python>

But I’m not sure. It may just be me, but I find it hard to follow and decided it didn’t have anything to do with my question.

Or am I off base? I am fairly familiar with sip 4, but having trouble understanding the roadmap to move to sip-5. Maybe I have to have a better understanding of wheels?
