I've re-installed 5.4~ below are approximate commands and the remnants of
build.

I backed myself into the upgrade and didn't have sip 4.16.9 the 1st attempt.

ubuntu at ubuntu-desktop:~/PyQt-gpl-5.5.1$ cat
/home/ubuntu/PyQt-gpl-5.5.1/qtdetail.out
Open Source
shared

# get and install pyqt
wget
http://www.riverbankcomputing.com/static/Downloads/PyQt5/PyQt-gpl-5.5.1-snapshot-7ff58420e62e.tar.gz

gzip -df PyQt-gpl-5.5.1-snapshot-7ff58420e62e.tar.gz
tar -xvf PyQt-gpl-5.5.1-snapshot-7ff58420e62e.tar
rm PyQt-gpl-5.5.1-snapshot-7ff58420e62e.tar
mv PyQt-gpl-5.5.1-snapshot-7ff58420e62e/ PyQt-gpl-5.5.1
cd PyQt-gpl-5.5.1

python configure.py --qmake=/home/ubuntu/Qt/5.5/gcc_64/bin/qmake
sudo ln -s /usr/include/python2.7 /usr/local/include/python2.7
make
sudo make install

python configure.py --qmake=/home/ubuntu/Qt/5.5/gcc_64/bin/qmake -e QtWebkit
