Python 3.13.0rc1 : Test MSBuild with PyQt6.

The goal of this tutorial is to test the build process of the Python package.

Installing the PyQt6 python module may come with the build error.

In this case, MS Build is installed from the official website, and then other necessary Python modules can be installed depending on the files needed to build the PyQt6 package.

pip install --upgrade setuptools

pip install msvc-runtime
ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement msvc-runtime (from versions: none)
ERROR: No matching distribution found for msvc-runtime

pip install pyqt6
Collecting pyqt6

Successfully built PyQt6-sip
Installing collected packages: PyQt6-Qt6, PyQt6-sip, pyqt6
Successfully installed PyQt6-Qt6-6.7.2 PyQt6-sip-13.8.0 pyqt6-6.7.1

This process uses a lot of files and MSBuild needs some Gb free on the hard disk.

Python 3.7.9 : how to fix update errors between pip and setuptools.

The python language was mainly developed to emphasis on code readability.

That's why I think that it should not be affected by such errors, but they are easily fixed ...
