Cannot install PyQt6 tools in Python 3.11 on Windows

Hi Kristof,
The pyqt6-plugins dependency of pyqt6-tools is built for lots of combinations of environments but not for Python 3.11. I have fallen behind on maintaining this matrix and can't make any estimates on when I will catch up. You can see the prebuilt offerings at https://pypi.org/project/pyqt6-plugins/#files. If you can make your way through the ci you may be able to figure out how to build it locally yourself. It should be doable but will probably take some figuring out of incantations... Sorry.
Your error is based on the tools being intended for use with a specific PyQt version which I also haven't updated for. Apparently with 6.0.2 PyQt had not yet switched to the stable ABI so it is only available for Python 3.6 through 3.9. https://pypi.org/project/PyQt6/6.0.2/#files
Sorry I don't have better news here.
Cheers,
-kyle
