Well, it appears that it really *is* time to discontinue support for pyQt4. 
Indeed, this page <https://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#pyqt4> lists 
has pre-built versions only for python 3.7 and earlier.  I test Leo only 
with Python 3.6 and Python 3.9. Note also that pyQt4 is no longer 
supported, and several pages strongly discourage using pyQt4.

It's very easy to install pyQt5 or pyQt6, so I don't think many people 
(anyone??) will be put out if we discontinue support for pyQt4.  In Leo's 
code it's easy to discontinue support for pyQt4: just don't import it in 
leoQt.py

In case I'm wrong, I'll leave leoQt4.py in place for now, but unless I hear 
howls of protest leoQt4.py will not be part of Leo 6.4 final.
