I have no problem installing it in the same venv with a 3.9.4 x64 version. Is possible that PyQt6 is not compatible with x86 pyhton's versions? Is there any solution?

I had this problem when I wanted to install PyQt5-tools.I used Python 3.10.2 and then I removed it and install Python 3.9.10 ( without upgrading pip from 21.2.4 to 22.0.3) and problem solved.
