The implementation of issue 36085 breaks PyQt on Windows as it relies on PATH to find the Qt DLLs. The problem is that PyQt is built using the stable ABI and a single wheel is supposed to support all versions of Python starting with v3.5. On the assumption (perhaps naive) that using the stable ABI would avoid future compatibility issues, the existing PyPI wheels have long been tagged with cp38.

Was this issue considered at the time? What is the official view?

Thanks,
Phil
