[PyQt] PyQt 5.13.2 build error: module 'sipbuild.api' has no attribute ‘prepare_metadata_for_build_wheel'

[FX]

> It is trying to write to the sip installation directory, to which it does not have access (in Homebrew, packages are not allowed to write to other packages’ folders).

So, I tried to work around this issue by passing the --target-dir option to a directory it is allowed to write in… which allows it to compile, but then during “make install” it still tries to write to directories it’s not allowed to. Full output is there: https://gist.github.com/fxcoudert/5bd93e1aef42e118c42feee73c673afc

I’m seeing the following attempts to write files outside of —target-dir:

Then this:

I couldn’t find any other option so that sip-install does not try to write files in directories outside of its control. What am I missing?

Thanks,
