Comment (by kencu):

 I can't find anything saying they dropped Qt5.9.

 With PyQt5 the version number of PyQt5 is tied, to a certain extent, to
 the version of Qt v5 so that:

 - The major version will always be 5.
 - For a particular minor version n it will build against any version of Qt
 v5, but will not support any new features introduced in Qt v5.n+1 or
 later.
 - It will support all the features of supported modules of Qt v5.n or
 earlier.
 - Support for new modules may be added to PyQt5 at any time. This would
 result in a change of patch version only.
 - The major and minor versions of the latest release of PyQt5 will be the
 same as the latest release of Qt v5.
 - The patch versions of PyQt5 and Qt v5 are entirely unrelated to each
 other.
 - So, for example, PyQt5 v5.1 will build against Qt v5.2 but will not
 support any new features introduced in Qt v5.2. PyQt5 v5.1 will support
 all the features of supported modules of Qt v5.0 and those new features
 introduced in Qt v5.1.
