Comment (by reneeotten):

 Replying to [comment:1 michaelld]:

 upstream's website and the PyPI packages are indeed confusing... I was
 hoping that you would understand the differences ;) A possibility is that
 the {{{PyQt5-sip}}} package actually installs it under the {{{PyQt5}}}
 namespace, whereas the {{{sip}}} packages perhaps does as {{{sip}}}
 (haven't checked that though).

 > What's not clear to me with just a quick search is: how do I download a
 tarball or whatever of the actual 6.1.0 release? I -might- be able to do
 this via the MC repo, 6.1.0 tag, then "bz2" link, which points to
 "https://www.riverbankcomputing.com/hg/sip/file/1eb31e4c5375" ... but
 that's nonobvious, unlike the usual link to download the current SIP4
 release
 "https://www.riverbankcomputing.com/static/Downloads/sip/4.19.25/sip-4.19.25.tar.gz"
 ...

 The latest 6.1.1. release is available on PyPI as the {{{sip}}} package,
 so updating to that in itself would be pretty straightforward as you can
 just use the python PG. From a cursory read it seems that this version
 would still be compatible with the different Qt/PyQt versions but who
 knows...
