Running with gdb might show more:

    gdb -ex r --args $(which python3) -c "import PyQt5.QtWidgets"

Then once you get a (gdb) prompt, "bt" should get you a C++ traceback.
You probably won't be able to get debugging symbols for a pip-installed
PyQt though, but maybe the output is helpful nonetheless.

Also let me note that you're running an old alpha of Python 3.10 from
over a year ago. You might want to try upgrading your Python to 3.10.4
first and see if things look better there.

PS: If you want to start a new topic, please write a new mail to the ML,
don't answer to a random existing one. Your mail is now displayed as an
answer to "Suprising enum difference in PyQt 6 from PyQt 5", yet has
nothing to do with that.
