I tried this solution (epel7-only python3-sip) but 
BUILDSTDERR: Error: This version of PyQt5 requires sip 4.19.4 or later.
when el7 have  sip-devel      x86_64     4.14.6-4.el7     base

if we do package sip-qt5 we must override /usr/lib64/python2.7/site-
packages/sip.so

it is possible sip-qt5 provides and obsolete sip (4.14.6-4.el7) ?

As a side note for epel-devel we also need python3-sip which is not
provide by el7, since only epel-7 have python3, isn't it ?

Not possible (by policy).  It should be able to work without doing that, but 
it may require patching.
