So I read the note on \"PyQt 5.11 missing WebEngine modules\" at https://www.riverbankcomputing.com/software/pyqt/download5. But it doesn\'t help me understand why, or what
The problem is simple, PyQt5 uses the binaries provided by Qt, and currently Qt no longer provides binaries for 32 bits, only for 64 bits.
Can you use Qt WebEngine for 32 bits ?
Yes you can but you will have to compile Qt manually and the dependencies of Qt WebEngine, and after that you will have to compile PyQt5.
