Pyqt4 in Ubuntu 20.04

Question

How to install Pyqt4 in ubuntu 20.04
I have already tried all the commands:

sudo apt-get install python-qt4
sudo apt-get install libqt4-dev
sudo apt-get install pyqt4-dev-tools
sudo apt-get install pyqt4.qsci-dev
sudo apt install python3-pyqt4

But it kept on saying module has no installation candidate although pyqt5 is running smoothly but code is too long for changing it to pyqt5

All Qt4 and PyQt4 have been removed in the recent version, the only solution I see is to manually compile pyqt4 — eyllanesc, May 15 '20 at 21:55
what about other version is it working in other version of ubuntu — user9151679, May 16 '20 at 13:39
@user9151679 mmm, I don't understand you, explain yourself better.PyQt4 is present in ubuntu 18.04 LTS — eyllanesc, May 16 '20 at 15:51

I am actually stucked to install something which required PyQt4 on Ubuntu 20.04, the only solution I've got is to install Qt4 Library that way

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:rock-core/qt4
sudo apt update
sudo apt install libqt4-declarative libqt4* libqtcore4 libqtgui4 libqtwebkit4 qt4*

Hope that will help you a little bit more

That PPA is also missing the mysql plugin for QT4. You can rebuild it from scratch (with apt source + debuild) by modifying the apt source per these instructions: Qt 5.10.0 MySQL drivers fails to compile on Fedora 27
