I have a problem with this error. For the record, I'm using PyQt4. Thanks for any help!

RuntimeError: the sip module implements API v11.0 to v11.2 but the PyQt5.QtCore module requires API v11.3
I solved this issue by uninstalling and reinstalling sip using pip.
pip uninstall sip
pip install sip
Just doing the upgrade might have work as well, but I got an error during it because the file was in use.
Doing the equivalent in Anaconda might solve the issue.
