Also see past questions about prepare_metadata_for_build_wheel, like
https://www.riverbankcomputing.com/pipermail/pyqt/2021-November/044370.html
and https://riverbankcomputing.com/pipermail/pyqt/2019-November/042313.html
. More generally,

I don't know much about Python and Pip, so I won't be much help.
