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?

I had the same problem here.
I had the Python 3.10 installed, but I found out that PyQt5 is not supported on the 3.10 version of Python. You can check this info here.
So I downgraded my Python version and everything worked fine.

I had the same problem, when I researched, I saw that if you are using 3.10 version in python, pyqt5-tools cannot be installed in this version, I recommend you to install 3.9 version

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
