I want to download pyqt5-tools to download and use QtEditor using this command on windows

As you see everything goes fine untill the preparing metadata part. I heard that it won't work on versions above 3.9 but is there a workaround for that?

Someone know how to resolve this? I have already installed pyqt5, and I have tried basically everything, but it still doesn't work.

You may be using version 3.10 of the Python language. Pyqt5-tools works best in python 3.9. You can review "https://pypi.org/project/pyqt5-tools/" here.

Python3 Subprocess Exited with Error (pyproject.toml)

I'm installing this package https://github.com/fuzailpalnak/kaizen, with this command:
pip3 install kaizen-mapping
but I'm getting this error. I've looked up online from many sites have a similar error, which seems to suggest that the root of the error is likely in the python version or in pip. Anyone knows how I can resolve this issue? Thanks!

P.S. Another thing I tried was installing it with this as I saw it from another Stackoverflow site that this is how they resolved it but the same error:
pip3 install kaizen-mapping --use-deprecated=legacy-resolver

You has not installed Cython -- This is clearly written in there:
Traceback (most recent call last):

OSError: Cython needs to be installed in Python as a module
You can try pip install cython and try it again.

I had similar issues with my home system and got it figured out. The work system is using PyCharm. On my home system I needed to go into the PyCharm folder and run in venv. I am unable to do that here at work. So I am giving up and just sticking to PyQt5 here.
Thanks.

What version of python did you install? Because i had the same problem and for me the update to a recent version of python (3.9 to 3.10) have solved the problem

I have no problem installing it in the same venv with a 3.9.4 x64 version. Is possible that PyQt6 is not compatible with x86 pyhton's versions? Is there any solution?

I had this problem when I wanted to install PyQt5-tools.I used Python 3.10.2 and then I removed it and install Python 3.9.10 ( without upgrading pip from 21.2.4 to 22.0.3) and problem solved.
