Did you consider offering snapshots as wheels as well, in some automated way?
Or providing a tool to convert a snapshot + Qt binary install to a wheel?

In some earlier mail you mentioned a tool to create wheels is available for
commercial users IIRC - however, I don't need the commercial license for any
other reason than that (since I'm using PyQt for opensource software only).

I'm not sure I follow - can you show an example of a line which didn't raise an
exception before but does now?  Something like Qt.Alignment(1337)? Or passing
a value which isn't in that enum to a method taking an enum?

I really appreciate that! Turned it on right away :)
