The problem is that anything that explicitly depends on pyqt5 (as in 'pyqt5' being listed in install_requires) yields a DistributionNotFound error. I am having this very issue with the recent release of spyder. A solution is to remove the explicit dependency in order to trick the setuptools metadata, but it is pretty ugly. Is there really no other way?
