Has the python qt installation story improved much recently? A few years ago it was a pain to set up, especially within a virtualenv, which was one of my only complaints with it. Everything else was wonderful.
Edit: I should say, there are MacOS-unique difficulties if you want to bundle your nice PyQt5 script into a standalone MacOS app bundle using PyInstaller. But that's a separate issue.
It will setup exactly what was asked for. Specifically qt 5.9.5 with PyQt.

Your comment, while presenting a potential solution to the original problem, did not make sense in context and went off in another direction entirely.

On Linux you might want to get the distros qt/qt-dev packages, as usual. But as far as I can recall, you generally don't have to.
But all of these things have improved greatly, in my recent experience.
