<![CDATA[No PyQt5 package for Windows?]]>When attempting to install PyQt5 on a 64-bit Windows computer, I got a message that no wheel is available for this platform (see below). How is this possible?

uv add PyQt5

error: Distribution pyqt5-qt5==5.15.19 @ registry+https://pypi.org/simple can't be installed because it doesn't have a source distribution or wheel for the current platform

hint: You're on Windows (win_amd64), but pyqt5-qt5 (v5.15.19) only has wheels for the following platforms: manylinux2014_x86_64, macosx_10_13_x86_64, macosx_11_0_arm64; consider adding "sys_platform == 'win32' and platform_machine == 'AMD64'" to tool.uv.required-environments to ensure uv resolves to a version with compatible wheels

PyQt5 is not a product of the Qt Company.
You need to contact Riverbank computing about that matter.

λ python -m pip install pyqt5-qt5
