The PyQt5 wheels do not provide tools such as Qt Designer that were included in the old binary installers. This package aims to provide those in a separate package which is useful for developers while the official PyQt5 wheels stay focused on fulfilling the dependencies of PyQt5 applications.
Pyqt5 homebrew formulae which installs QT5.5 instead of 5.6. You must tap homebrew-versions first.

Qt Designer helps you build a GUI (graphical user interface). You can load a GUI from Python. In this tutorial we’ll show you step by step.
It covers a very basic example of how to use Qt Designer with PyQt and Python. For more details see the link below.

Prerequisites
To start with this tutorial you need these installed:
- Python
- PyQt
- Qt Designer
You will need Python 3 or above, because the others are out dated.
If you don’t have PyQt,install PyQt.
You can install Designer (Ubuntu Linux) with:
On other platforms it’s included in the setup.
How to start Designer
Start designer by typing
designer
in the command line. Important: qt creator is another program.
On Ubuntu Linux:
Basics
A popup shows up. You can choose what you want to design.
Choose “Main Window” and click create.
You can then resize the form and drag and drop widgets. It’s pretty simple to design a graphical interface like this.
If you click on a widget (say a button), you can set its properties like name.
Export Design to UI
You can export your design to a UI file. Click File > Save As > yourname.ui
Then you can convert the ui code to a python file.
Like this:
Like this:
The Python file then contains the gui definition.
Create another file that loads the ui file:
Create another file that loads the ui file:
Once you run it your GUI appears.
