The SIP stuff that is used by PyQt to generate the binding also has a
mechanism for conditional compilation depending on the Qt version.

However, as explained in the patch I submitted to fix this issue [1],
in the upstream PyQt5, they decided to drop entirely the support for
this waitForEvents() method, even if PyQt5 is built against an older
version of Qt than 5.11 (PyQt5 is full of conditionals depending on the
Qt version, but they decided to not use that for waitForEvents). My
patch follows what upstream did.

Best regards,

Thomas
