Answer 1

The solution for such a scenario when non sudo user is unable to access package, would be to remove the package with sudo privilege and reinstalling it as non root user, like this

---

sudo pip uninstall PyQt5

and reinstalling it without sudo privileges

pip install PyQt5

I would highly suggest you to use virtualenv in python check this out, which you can activate whenever needed.

for setting up virtual env for sublime have a look at this
