Restore broken links by reverting to revision a52c47bf

The commits since then moved many files into the src/ subdirectory.
This would have broken existing links on the internet. To solve this,
we leave the master branch as-is and make such breaking changes on a
different branch.

-The above examples are from the book [Python and Qt: The Best Parts](https://build-system.fman.io/pyqt5-book) by Michael Herrmann. 
-
-## Official PyQt demos
-
-The [PyQt source archive](https://www.riverbankcomputing.com/software/pyqt/download5) also contains a large number of sample files. You can find them reproduced here in the [`src/pyqt-official`](src/pyqt-official) directory. The easiest way to start them is to follow the [instructions about running examples](#running-the-examples) below, then execute the following commands:
-
-    cd src/pyqt-official/qtdemo
-    python qtdemo.py
-
-This starts the PyQt example launcher:
-
-<p align="center"><img src="src/screenshots/pyqt-examples-launcher.png" alt="PyQt Examples launcher"></p>
-
-You can use it to easily browse and run the official demo applications. The following examples are quite nice for instance:
-
- * Quick / Animation / ColorAnimation
- * Graphics Effects / Lighting and Shadows
- * Desktop / System Tray
- * Desktop / Screenshot
- * Widgets / Tetrix
-
-## Running the examples
-
-Running the examples is really easy. The only thing you need is [Python 3](https://www.python.org/downloads/).
-
-First, download the [ZIP archive of this repository](https://github.com/pyqt/examples/archive/master.zip) and unpack it. Open a command prompt and use `cd` to navigate into the top-level directory of the archive.
-
-Create a virtual environment via the command:
-
-    python3 -m venv venv
-
-This creates the folder `venv/` in your current directory. It will contain the necessary libraries for running the examples.
-
-To activate the virtual environment, use the following command:
-
-```
-# On Windows:
-call venv\Scripts\actviate.bat
-# On Mac / Linux:
-source venv/bin/activate
-```
-
-Now execute the following to install the necessary dependencies:
-
-    pip install -Ur src/requirements.txt
-
-Once you have done this, use `cd` to navigate to the example you're interested in in the [`src/`](src) folder. For example:
-
-    cd "src/01 PyQt QLabel"
-
-You'll find a `.py` file there, typically `main.py`. You can run it with the command:
-
-    python main.py
-
-Please note that the virtual environment must still be active for this to work.
-
-## Using PySide2
-
-This repository uses PyQt5 to use Qt from Python. Another, alternative binding is PySide2 (also called "Qt for Python"). It is less mature than PyQt5 but has the advantage that you can use it for free in commercial projects.
-
-If you want to use PySide2 instead of PyQt5, simply replace all mentions of the latter by the former. For instance, in [`src/requirements.txt`](src/requirements.txt), replace `PyQt5` by `PySide2`. Similarly for any code examples: `from PyQt5.QtWidgets ...` becomes `from PySide2.QtWidgets ...` etc.
-
-Alternatively, if you don't want to commit to either of the two bindings at this stage, you can also use [Qt.py](https://github.com/mottosso/Qt.py). This is an abstraction over PySide2 and PyQt5. It loads whichever of the two bindings is available. To use it for the examples presented here, replace all mentions of `PyQt5` by just `Qt`.
