	Where did this one come from? The "cp37" seems to imply it is a Python
3.7 variant.

	You also didn't include the command line that started this sequence...

>(venv) PS C:\Users\gorev\OneDrive\Desktop\Medidost> ^C

... was it also run from inside the virtual environment?

>(venv) PS C:\Users\gorev\OneDrive\Desktop\Medidost> pip install pyqt5-tools 

	Personally, anytime I see OneDrive involved, my first thought is to
blame it (It plays hob with multi-file relational databases, such as Visual
FoxPro used by the TMG genealogy program -- VFP opens/closes table files
(there are three per table) on an as-needed scheme; OneDrive sees a
modified file and locks it while synching it to the cloud -- and that
blocks VFP from being able to do the next update, and often causing
corruption of the database when the three table files become
unsynchronized).

	However... as a test (note: I have Python (an older ActiveState build)
installed "for all users", and not in a user specific install.
