[PyQt] Unable to install PyQt 5.14

[ashwin .D]

Thank you for your prompt response. It turns out my default installation
was Qt4 so  I upgraded my Ubuntu to Qt5.9 (qmake -v reports 5.9.5) and now
I get this error when I run
pip3 install PyQt

Collecting PyQt
Exception:

When I run your command on my box I get - /usr/bin/python3  No module named
install.
