[PyQt] sip 4 pulled from PyPI?

[Florian Bruhin]

Hey,

Is it just me, or was sip 4 recently deleted from PyPI?
This means it's now impossible to install e.g. PyQt 5.10:

  $ pip install --no-cache pyqt5==5.10.1
  Collecting pyqt5==5.10.1
    [...]
  Collecting sip<4.20,>=4.19.4 (from pyqt5==5.10.1)
    ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement sip<4.20,>=4.19.4 (from pyqt5==5.10.1) (from versions: 5.0.0, 5.0.1)
  ERROR: No matching distribution found for sip<4.20,>=4.19.4 (from pyqt5==5.10.1)

You might argue that there's no need to do that nowadays - however, e.g. Ubuntu
18.04 LTS ships with that. That Ubuntu version is supported until April 2023,
with no upgrade path available yet (20.04 LTS will follow in April 2020).

I personally don't like LTS Linux distributions keeping around legacy versions
for years - but given that they are rather popular, I'd like to test my code
against (Py)Qt 5.10 a bit longer. Having a way to install it via pip made it
easy to do so on Travis CI.
