[PyQt] New Set of Development Wheels for PyQt5 v5.6

[Cosimo Lupo]

Could the `PyQt5.__init__.py` module be modified to automatically add the
PyQt5 folder to the os.environ["PATH"], when the current platform is
Windows?

If I patch it like that, I don't have to manually configure my environment
everytime I install the pyqt5 wheel from pip in a new virtual environment.

Thanks.

import os as _os
import platform as _platform

if _platform.system() == "Windows":
    # on Windows we need to ensure PyQt5 is in the %PATH% for DLLs to be
loaded
    _pyqt5_dir = _os.path.dirname(__file__)
    _env_path = _os.environ.get("PATH", "")
    if _pyqt5_dir not in [pth.rstrip(_os.sep) for pth in
_env_path.split(_os.pathsep)]:
        _os.environ["PATH"] = _os.pathsep.join([_pyqt5_dir, _env_path])
