Problem with QTranslator (by GNU gettext user)

[Florian Bruhin]

Hey,

So it looks like you have a PyQt install in
/home/user/.local/lib/python3.9/site-packages/PyQt5, probably installed
with "pip install --user" at some point.

You should probably uninstall it and use virtualenvs in the future.

The -E is irrelevant, it's most likely -s that makes the difference:

    -s     Don't add user site directory to sys.path.

Which means that you will end up with your "proper" system-wide
installed Qt rather than the one you installed via pip.
