For my version of PyQt5 == 5.14.1, the if self.pyqtconfig check failed, so the code got the directory from sipconfig. Thus, the value of the directory was set to:
I figured this was because pyqt_sip_dir was possibly incorrect; manually checking that path revealed there was no such folder! Instead, I had to supply manually a path, with the cmdline argument:
, and this was the only change needed for setup.py build to successfully build the library.
I wonder if this is an issue with the install for sip itself, installation of PyQt5, or if the way pyqt_sip_dir is set;
Is it possible to change the default from the sipconfig way to this /lib/python/... way?
