I am trying to install PyQt5-tools but I'm having trouble with it. I'm getting the error that you can see below:

  • Last time I checked, pyqt5-tools were not available for Python>=3.10. Try to downgrade to 3.9 – musicamante Jul 07 '22 at 23:52

I had the same problem, when I researched, I saw that if you are using 3.10 version in python, pyqt5-tools cannot be installed in this version, I recommend you to install 3.9 versionenter image description here
