 I tried to look a bit through the commit history and Trac tickets, but I
 am not sure if and/or what the rationale for the {{{py-sip}}} port is. It
 is part of the PyQt suite, but not installed in that "namespace" and also
 heavily outdated by now.

 Is there a reason not to switch this to the PyQt5-sip package or at least
 update to the latest version of `sip` on PyPI? I am happy to take a look
 at this, but first wanted to know if there is a reason for the current
 set-up that I am not aware of. My immediate reason is that the latest
 versions of {{{py-eric-ide}}} require {{{sip}}} version 5.0.0 or above.
