Hans,
Thanks for these helpful remarks.
My thinking was influenced too much by the desire to be with
it.
Your suggestion enables me to use the binary PyQt4 and avoid
the compilation from source.
I'll do it.

Hello,
when you say that you are a beginner in PyQt, maybe it would
first be advisable to stick to PyQt4. I know that using the
latest software is nice, but there are much more tutorials for
PyQt4 than for PyQt5 (I don’t know of any). Also, if you just
install Python 3 + PyQt4 on Windows, Eric runs fine.
If you care about Linux, (almost) none Linux distributions ship
PyQt5 in the standard repositories yet.
Although I guess that PyQt5 has some advantages over PyQt4, for
a beginner PyQt4 may be sufficient (especially because all of
the documentation is still for PyQt4). When you are more versed
in PyQt4, switching to PyQt5 would be easier (and at that point
it might be easier to install).
Another options would be to create a Linux virtual machine,
where you can install both PyQt4 and PyQt5 at the same time
relatively easy. I just tried this with OpenSUSE, where PyQt4 is
in the standard distribution and PyQt5 is available from a
custom repository. It works fine when installing it parallely,
unlike Windows where you have to build PyQt5 from source.

What tools do I need for that? Up to this point, I have
used binary packages.
