Thanks Phil - and points taken! I just started maintaining the PyQt5-related ports and was \
going through our tickets to try and resolve open issue. I certainly should have tried \
installing the most recent version to see if that resolved the earlier problems; additionally \
moving forward I'm happy to report any issues I encounter with PyQt5 and when adding support \
for PyQt6 (hopefully soon).

On a slightly unrelated note, when trying to search the mailing list I noticed that the Nabble \
link provided on https://www.riverbankcomputing.com/mailman/listinfo/pyqt \
<https://www.riverbankcomputing.com/mailman/listinfo/pyqt> does not work - can it be updated? 

Thanks again, 
Renee
