Hello Phil,

trying to install PyQt6 via "pip install PyQt6" results in an error. The 
command downloads the .tar.gz file and tries to build the wheel from 
there, which fails. Trying to install the downloaded wheel fails as well.

./pyqt6env/bin/python3 -m pip install 
~/Downloads/Python/PyQt/PyQt6/PyQt6-6.0.0-6.0.0-cp36.cp37.cp38.cp39-abi3-manylinux_2_28_x86_64.whl 

ERROR: 
PyQt6-6.0.0-6.0.0-cp36.cp37.cp38.cp39-abi3-manylinux_2_28_x86_64.whl is 
not a supported wheel on this platform.

The test was done on Kubuntu 20.10 with Python 3.9

Regards
Detlev
