Issue installing pyqt5 dependency from requirements

[peadaruncanny]

While all other dependencies seem to install fine, I'm unable to install pyqt5 from requirements.txt. Something about the metadata. Pasting the terminal window output below (only referring to pyqt5 since the rest was fine). When following Nut's Mac installation guide installing pyqt5 through homebrew was fine.

Was trying to look for solutions in other places but couldn't wrap my head around the workarounds... Does anyone here experience the same issue/has found a solution?

I'm on an M1 Mac running Monterey

I had the same issue, but using 3.10.8 MSC on windows works for me while 3.11.4 GCC doesn't work for me.

[introkun]

Try this branch please #490

[V-Karch]

I am now having this same issue running Raspbian. It won't install pyqt5

After seeing the suggestion to try the qt6 branch, that also resulted in the same issue, something about qmake, I can provide more detail later if this is looked at.

It's late at the time of writing this and I'm writing it from my mobile phone which is why I didn't provide too much info
