can you provide some metadata file (like egg-info or dist-info) when installing pyqt from source?<br>
<br>
Currently an installed pyqt package is not recognized as intalled by pip which makes it difficult to use it as a requirement in setup.py.<br>
<br>
The wheel distribution provides the metadata but that brings all the Qt library with it which is not usefull if you want to use the packages form your Linux Distribution.<br>
