[QGIS-Developer] import PyQt5.QtCore failed (from OSGeo4W python)

[Idan Miara]

Hi all,

Thanks for helping me to figure this out.
I found the missing package - sip-qt5.
More specifically sip.pyd from that package - if this file is missing then
"import PyQt5.QtCore" will fail.
Thus, I think the package pyqt5 should be dependent on sip-qt5.

Idan.
