ete3 importing errors

For instance, ImportError: cannot import name 'NodeStyle'.

The ete3 module depends on Qt, and for Linux it may take some tweaking to get Python to recognise the local installation of Qt. The following seems to work for a broad collection of circumstances.

First update the local installation of Qt.

> sudo apt-get install qt5-default

Now double-check which version of Qt has been installed.

> dpkl -l | grep "pyqt5"

Install the corresponding Python interface to Qt.

> pip3 install pyqt5==5.12
