[PyQt] pyrcc5 on iOS sysroot

[Patrick Stinson]

Scott,

Actually I’m talking about building pyrcc5 itself so that I can generate the .py files. This would avoid having to check in the large binaries (e.g. images) that comprise the .py resources into source control.

Yes, the .py files themselves are cross-platform.

It’s entirely possible iOS demands some special treatment, however. That’s not an insult, just a statement.
