ViTables fails to detect PyQt5

[cyanate]

I'm using Arch and have python-qtpy and python-pyqt5 (v 5.9) installed, but ViTables anyway doesn't detect it:

  File "/usr/bin/vitables", line 6, in <module>
    from pkg_resources import load_entry_point
  File "/usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages/pkg_resources/__init__.py", line 3049, in <module>
    @_call_aside
  File "/usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages/pkg_resources/__init__.py", line 3033, in _call_aside
    f(*args, **kwargs)
  File "/usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages/pkg_resources/__init__.py", line 3062, in _initialize_master_working_set
    working_set = WorkingSet._build_master()
  File "/usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages/pkg_resources/__init__.py", line 658, in _build_master
    ws.require(__requires__)
  File "/usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages/pkg_resources/__init__.py", line 972, in require
    needed = self.resolve(parse_requirements(requirements))
  File "/usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages/pkg_resources/__init__.py", line 858, in resolve
    raise DistributionNotFound(req, requirers)
pkg_resources.DistributionNotFound: The 'PyQt5>=5.5.1' distribution was not found and is required by ViTables

Can you provide some more information please? In particular, how is ViTables installed? conda-forge package, wheel, source, cloned repo?

After a long time there is no feedback from the original poster so I assume the problem has been fixed and close the bug (although I'd like to know what is the solution of the problem. That info could be useful for other users).
