Bug Description

I've just upgraded to Fedora 29 and RPD crashes when trying to load. Only error message I could find is the abort reason rapid.py:75:<module>:ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'PyQt5.sip'

I've uninstalled and reinstalled. Same problem

It's a bug in PyQt5. Do this to fix it:

pip3 install -U --user PyQt5_sip

Do NOT prefix the command with sudo.

I'll need to update the install.py script to work around this bug.

The workaround (pip3 install...) worked perfectly.
Many thanks for the fast response, the quickest I've ever had a response to a bug report.
