PyQT5 legacy version support

[Michael Ascenzi]

I have a relatively significant problem, I'm hoping for some help with.

I understand that Python2 has been deprecated. However, I have a legacy
application that uses PyQt5 and only builds with python2.

Yes, the best outcome is to make appropriate changes to the software so
that it will run with python3. However, that is a very difficult option, as
part of the application imports a .so module, which is C++ code compiled
and wrapped for use in a python application. This application was built
with python2 libraries and will not import if the application is built with
Python3.

On one of the systems this application runs perfectly fine with python2,
Nvidia TX2, its running PyQt5 version 5.5.1.   On the pip page the
earliest version of python available is 5.6. But when I attempt to install
it on the TX2, it throws an error message.

Does anyone have any information that could help me get PyQt5 up and
running on a new TX2 board that will support building with Python2?

Thank you all for your time and support. I do hope someone may have a
resolution for my issue.
