Executed action
The following commands were executed serially
$ virtualenv --python=python3 venv
$ source venv/bin/activate
$ python setup.py build
$ python setup.py install
$ pipguiOutcome
The same thing was happening when installing through pip
$ pip install pipguiHow the issue was fixed
The PyQt5.sip error fixed by fixing the dependency of the following packages in the install_require setting param of setup.py.
The existing install_require now includes packages with the following dependencies :
- PyQt5==5.10.1
- sip==4.19.8
This is a temporary fix for now. Searching for an efficient solution for the bug.
