Hi Phil,
Python3 version is 3.8.10 (default in several Ubuntu 20.04 distros): Not
the most recent version (slightly over 1 year old) but 3.8 is supposed
to be supported until 2024. Updating pip to 22.1.2 didn't fix the
problem although the output look was slightly modified:

I also tried using an older QScintilla version but same result. Thanks,

The fact that pip is trying to build from the sdist rather than use a
wheel suggests either that you are using an unsupported version of
Python or your version of pip is too old.

Hi Phil,
I had previously tried pip with a very similar outcome:

Check the logs for full command output.
Something is clearly not clicking but I'm unsure how to proceed.

Hello,
After installing PyQt v5.15.6 with pip and QScintilla_src-2.13.3 with
qmake, the installation of the python bindings is returning the
following errors:

I'm not even sure how to begin troubleshooting any of these error
messages. Did I even install PyQt5 correctly? Thanks.
If you are installing PyQt with pip why not install QScintilla in the
same way?
Phil
