Running PyQt5 on Raspberry Pi - "PyQt5._QOpenGLFunctions_ES2" error - python-3.x

Question

I am facing a problem running PyQt5 on Raspberry Pi 4.
I use raspberry pi 4, version 10 (buster) kernel version 4.19.75-v71.
The default python is 3.7.3.
I followed the exact same steps of installing sip and PyQt5 as mentioned on this thread here. I also installed python 3.6.0 following the steps introduced on the aforementioned thread.
After finishing the installation without any error, and when I run my code, I face the following error message:
qt5ct: using qt5ct plugin
QEGLPlatformContext: Failed to create context: 3009
QOpenGLWindow::beginPaint: Failed to create context
QOpenGLWindow::beginPaint: Failed to make context current
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "my_code.py", line 68, in initializeGL
self.gl = self.context().versionFunctions()
AttributeError: module 'PyQt5._QOpenGLFunctions_ES2' has no attribute 'QOpenGLFunctions_ES2'
Aborted
Any guidance how to overcome this problem? Much appreciated. Thanks in advance.
PS the code is running smoothly on Win10. Thus, the code itself must have no problem. (the environment on Win10 is: numpy=1.14.3; numpy-stl=2.5.0; pyqt5=5.10.1; sip=4.19.8; six=1.11.0; python=3.6.0; python-utils=2.3.0)

maybe you can try to reinstall pyqt5 to fix this problem. look if there are a thread is occupy pip/pyqt5/qmake.exe.
Or look you GPU, does it is OpenGL2.0 or higher version?
you said that the problems was made by
"self.gl=self.context().versionFunctions()"
And I was writhing an example, you can try it:
import sys

from PyQt5.QtGui import QColor
from PyQt5.QtWidgets import (QApplication, QHBoxLayout, QOpenGLWidget, QSlider,

before try this example, please run this command(install pyOpenGL):
pip install pyOpenGL
