I constantly get the following error:

OK, I understood the problem is with some widget plugin from qgis.

Adding this to depends.py:
enthought/pyface#286 (comment)

results in

No way. bitmessageqt currently uses QString. You can try qt5-wip branch or wait until I find a better workaround.

Ok, I cloned qt5-wip, this is starting.
Thank you :)
