When running pip install PyQt5==5.9.2 I receive the error

ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement sip<4.20,>=4.19.4 (from PyQt5==5.9.2) (from versions: 5.0.0, 5.0.1, 5.1.0, 5.1.1, 5.1.2, 5.2.0, 5.3.0, 5.4.0, 5.5.0)
ERROR: No matching distribution found for sip<4.20,>=4.19.4 (from PyQt5==5.9.2)

This appears to only be an issue for Python version above 3.6, I haven't tested the exact version at which it breaks. However, because this is a tutorial, and it appears one of the most common errors is to use an incompatible Python version, it may be worth mentioning somewhere in the tutorial the required Python versions.

I'll try to make the following from the README even clearer:

The only prerequisite is Python 3.5 or 3.6. Python 3.7 is not yet officially supported. It may or may not work.

I think it may be helpful to state it a bit more forcefully too. Something like

Only Python versions 3.5 and 3.6 are supported. Other versions will likely give errors.

on it's own line.
