Metadata generation failed when installing PyQt5

[PenguinPen]

This error comes from running the dockerfile and reaches the PyQt5 in the requirements-dev.txt. From stackoverflow, this problem occur when installing PyQt5 with version after 5.15.6 in virtual environment.

Not labeling bug as it's bug from PyQt5, but since this could affect dockerfile building I'll create this issue.
If this is not proper please close this issue.

Could or does affect the Dockerfile? The issue you linked to seems to all refer to Mac OS and Windows, but our Dockerfile is based on Ubuntu.

I encountered this issue when I run the docker file in the python virtual environment, and I am on Mac.
