PyQt5 is not available from wheel on ARM platforms

[mvillion]

Hello,

The PyQt5 dependency added since 3.2.5 breaks installation on ARM platforms.
Same issue on Odroid XU4 and Rapsberry Pi:

sudo pip3 install spyder -U
[...]
Collecting pyqt5; python_version >= "3" (from spyder)
Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement pyqt5; python_version >= "3" (from spyder) (from versions: )
No matching distribution found for pyqt5; python_version >= "3" (from spyder)

A workaround may be:

sudo pip3 install rope nbconvert pylint psutil pyopengl chardet qtpy sphinx pyzmq jedi cloudpickle -U
sudo pip3 install spyder -U --no-deps

How do you run Spyder then?

On ARM devices, it is very difficult to compile a complete PyQt5 library due to memory limitations (especially PyQt5.QtWebkit).
Hopefully, distribution like raspbian stretch offer packages like:
sudo apt install python3-pyqt5 python3-pyqt5.qtwebkit

It works on Rapsberry Pi 3 with:
Python 3.5.3 32bits, Qt 5.7.1, PyQt5 5.7 on Linux

We don't have time to deal with this, sorry. Glad you found a workaround.
