pip install pyqt6-tools on Mac hangs waiting for license acceptance

[evanthomas]

I'm using conda env

➜ which python                                                              
/Users/thomas.e/opt/anaconda3/bin/conda/envs/dogsbody/bin/python
➜ python --version
Python 3.12.4

The install seems to hang while asking for license acceptance. The usual tricks from stack overflow don't work.

➜ pip install pyqt6-tools --config-settings --confirm-license= --verbose

DEPRECATION: Loading egg at /Users/thomas.e/opt/anaconda3/bin/conda/envs/dogsbody/lib/python3.12/site-packages/scidownl-1.0.2-py3.12.egg is deprecated. pip 24.3 will enforce this behaviour change. A possible replacement is to use pip for package installation. Discussion can be found at https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/12330
