PyQt5 serial port support isn't default on Ubuntu

First I installed on my Gentoo desktop, and got a similar error, but using Gentoo is my own choice to be masochistic and see what all needs to be compiled a given way. However, I now installed on my Ubuntu laptop and got the same error.
Given the ubiquity of Ubuntu users, might be good to add to the install instructions that they need to: sudo apt install python3-pyqt5.qtserialport

$ tasmotizer.py
Traceback (most recent call last):

from PyQt5.QtSerialPort import QSerialPortInfo, QSerialPort
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'PyQt5.QtSerialPort'

You cant use pipx to install tasmotizer. It works fine (tested with the last version of Ubuntu).
But, uninstall all previous installation of tasmotizer before (to avoid confilct).

pipx install tasmotizer
