import error PyQt5.QtWidgets, 32bit Python question

[Elizabeth Johnson]

Hi PyQt team,

Is this the appropriate place to ask this sort of question? If not, please
let me know, thank you!

I'm trying to use PyQt5.QtWidgets (on a clean VM) on a 32 bit installation
of Python (I'd be happy w/ any version of Python 3). I have successfully
gotten it to work on a 64 bit installation of Python. Specifically I have
Python 3.7.4 from WinPython that came with PyQt5 5.13.0 and PyQt5-sip
4.19.18 and it all works (i.e. when I 'import PyQt5.QtWidgets' it works).

I've found WinPython does not come with PyQt5 for their 32bit distributions
of Python, except for this one I found with Python 3.5 from a few years
ago: https://sourceforge.net/projects/winpython/files/WinPython_3.5/3.5.2.3/

Even using that WinPython installation I've run into this error:
>>> import PyQt5.QtWidgets
Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ImportError: DLL load failed: The specified procedure could not be found.
>>>

I've also tried just installing Python 3.7.4 directly and pip installing
PyQt5 (same error, no success) and then trying to specifically install the
PyQt5 version I mentioned above (still same error, no success).

Is there a reason PyQt5 would be incompatible w/ 32bit Python? Thank you!!
