The Installation using pip failes during the installation of sip with the following error code:
I seem to need to add more details to post so: It's a Windows 10 Education Machine with a 64-bit OS and a 64-bit Processor.
C:\WINDOWS\system32>pip install sip

  note: This error originates from a subprocess, and is likely not a problem with pip.
  ERROR: Failed building wheel for sip
Failed to build sip
ERROR: Could not build wheels for sip, which is required to install pyproject.toml-based projects
I have no Idea how to proceed or how to set this --plat-name variable correctly.
