OK, so I managed to build PyQt5 5.15.7 using `pip install PyQt-Builder`, 
and everything appears to be working as before.

Now I'm trying to compile my own code, which requires the `sip.h` header 
(as I need to access from Python back to C++ using `sipAPIDef` et al. I 
assume I need to install SIP for this. What version(s) of SIP do I need, 
that is / are compatible with PyQt5 5.15.7 ? Anything 5.x ?

Thanks,

Stefan
