You are correct, but QtVCP depends on several packages that are not installed with LCNC (and probably shouldn't be), so they will have to install several pip and Debian packages anyway. At least having it as a pip package would reduce the number they would have to install. If/when LCNC is migrated to Py3 ALL the QtVCP dependencies (including PyQt5 and QtDesinger for screen development) could be automatically installed by pip. Currently since LCNC uses Py2 anybody who wants to design a screen using QtVCP has to build SIP and PyQt5 from source to get the PyQt5 development libraries that work with Py2.
