PyQt5 build failure on macOS 10.10 and below

[Renee Otten]

Thanks Phil - and points taken! I just started maintaining the PyQt5-related ports and was going through our tickets to try and resolve open issue. I certainly should have tried installing the most recent version to see if that resolved the earlier problems; additionally moving forward I’m happy to report any issues I encounter with PyQt5 and when adding support for PyQt6 (hopefully soon).

On a slightly unrelated note, when trying to search the mailing list I noticed that the Nabble link provided on https://www.riverbankcomputing.com/mailman/listinfo/pyqt <https://www.riverbankcomputing.com/mailman/listinfo/pyqt> does not work - can it be updated? 

Thanks again, 
Renee
