Phil,
Thank you, that got me looking in the right place.  I also needed to
comment out a few lines in QtWidgets/qapplication.sip.  But I now have
the app compiling with PyQt5!

It looks like both files should have the relevant code wrapped in a
"#ifdef Q_OS_OSX".  (qapplication.sip uses Q_OS_MAC, which is for both
OSX and iOS).
Assuming, of course, I am right that QMAcCocoaViewContainer should not
be used on iOS.

Is there somewhere I can report this bug?

Thank you,

David
