Preparing metadata (pyproject.toml) did not run successfully

Question

I have an M1 Mac, I am using a Jupyter Notebook which is running pip 21.2.4 and python 3.8. I cannot install pyqt5. I have tried all of stackoverflow's existing solutions but none of them work.

What can I do to fix this? I have tried using pip version 22. Here is the error I am recieving:

What command you run to install pyqt? And why on jupyter notebooks? — ניר, Jul 26 '22 at 14:25
I am following this course (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yqkISICHH-U) which is why I am using Jupyter Notebooks. Commands I have tried: pip install pyqt5 (error above) brew install pyqt5 (works but it still doesn't let me download labelimg which is the package i am trying to get to) @ניר — ba_, Jul 27 '22 at 06:52
