ERROR: You must use the PyQt5 bindings was created by tripwire
I'm stuck! As far as I know nothing changed (except I did turn off my pc) from when everything was working until I became unable to open any VCP in Qt Designer.
The other strange behavior is that now when I invoke editvcp on the command line, I get a file chooser dialog with no option to create a new vcp.
The main error I got when running editvcp vcptemplate from the command line is the following:

Replied by tripwire on topic ERROR: You must use the PyQt5 bindings
To try to diagnose the problem, I've placed print statements in the file, /home/dave/.local/lib/python3.9/site-packages/qtpy/__init__.py. I'm showing the state of the "API" variable. As can be seen, it stays set to "pyqt5" before the open file dialog but after I choose (any) vcp to open, you can see the variable change to pyqt6, then pyside2. I don't think it's suppose to do that.
Note: at this point I'm presented with a file open dialog box instead of launching Qt Designer directly.
The following is the output in the terminal after I choose (any) vcp to edit:
I really need to resolve this. Please help. I don't want to reinstall everything...again!

Thanks for the suggestion, TurBoss but it didn't change anything. Here is the result:
Before your suggestion, I had actually uninstalled python3-pyqt5 and then reinstalled it. When it was uninstalled, Qt Designer opened normally but didn't contain any of the VCP widgets. Reinstalling python3-pyqt5 didn't change the errors I was getting.
I realize I may have improperly shut down my computer which may have caused the problem. Does this fact give you any other ideas?
Thanks!

I did the following but it didn't change the behaviour:
/home/dave/.local/lib/python3.9/site-packages/qtpy/__init__.py file which is where an exception is thrown and this causes the API var to change from pyqt5 to pyqt6 and then pyside2.
I realize it's a lot to dig into but I'd be curious as to why that exception is thrown.

renaming existing libpyqt5.so to libpyqt5.so.old
