The recommended first step would be to upgrade to the latest release (that is 20.8 released yesterday). Step 2 would be to check, if the installed PyQt5 and QScintilla packages are compatible. Step 3 would be to create a virtual Python environment and installe eric in there with PyQt5 and QScintilla packages from PyPI.
