I am trying to install it with "pip install " pip install pyqt5-tools" on MacOS 13.0.1 M1 chip.
Everything seem all right and there are not crash, but it just stuck at " Preparing metadata (pyproject.toml) ... -" for a long time.
Should I wait for longer time or it means that the project didn't provide support for m1 chip yet？

Thank for you contribution to this project.

I'm guessing it is trying to compile pyqt5 itself since even the latest version (https://pypi.org/project/PyQt5/5.15.7/#files) doesn't support macOS ARM (Apple Silicon / M1). While there is at least one free service offering ARM runners presently, they are not generally available. Combine that with the fact I've got catch up to do here in many other regards and I wouldn't suggest holding your breath for macOS ARM support here. Depending what you need pyqt-tools for, tou could switch to PyQt6 and just do the pyqt-tools stuff in a Python-x86 venv on your Mac and everything else in a regular ARM venv. Obviously that's a terrible experience, but until I set aside probably several days to catch this project up... there probably isn't an actually good choice.
