import error PyQt5.QtWidgets, 32bit Python question

[Ian Ottoway]

This sounds a lot like the issue I had not too long ago, it was a bug in the PyQt packaging that was putting the wrong version of some DLLs in the wheel.

It's been a while since then so I assumed it was fixed.

I've also tried just installing Python 3.7.4 directly and
          pip installing PyQt5 (same error, no success) and then trying
          to specifically install the PyQt5 version I mentioned above
          (still same error, no success). 





For that one it could be as simple as to install the C++ runtime
      redistributables:

In any case, for windows
                my advice would be to forget about WinPython or anything
                similar use python from python.org with pip to install
                packages and eventually installing VS2019 community
                edition C++ compiler if you need to compile anything
                from source.

Best regards,
