Error: sipbuild.api' has no attribute 'prepare_metadata_for_build_wheel'

[Philippe Fremy]

Hi,

Thanks, it is also what I found on my own. Problem is easy to solve for 
PyQt5 but other modules don't have Python 3.10 wheel release yet: 
PyQt3d, PyQtCharts, ...

So, I'll stick to 3.9 in the mean time.

Thanks you so much for your help.

Cheers,

Philippe
