Bumping up. I get the same error on Python 3.8.6

Update: Just clone the repo, and import the Python scripts and for the most part it works after a bit of patching. I got the thing up & running, connected to the gateway and DB.

However, there is a reason the project has been stalled and I wouldn't exactly recommend it for anything else than learning & testing.

duplicate of https://github.com/ranaroussi/qtpylib/issues/141 with workaround https://github.com/ranaroussi/qtpylib/issues/141#issuecomment-551453502 so the flags --upgrade --no-cache-dir added here do not help
