Python Win 3.6.0 x64 issue, missing qt designer exe after pip3 install pyqt5

Question

I'm a Python newbie and trying to start my first application and am struggling to workout how to use Qt Designer with pyQT5.

I've been using the next command which installs pyqt5.7.1:

pip3 install pyqt5

After the install, I have a

C:\Python36\Lib\site-packages\PyQt5\Qt\bin\Qt5Designer.dll

file but no Qt Designer exe as far as i can tell.

id really appreciate the help if anyone has any idea what i'm missing? Do I have to install the full Qt5 framework to be able to use Qt Designer and pyQT5?

Thanks

Pete

On WinPython-64bit-3.5.2.2Qt5 I run:

pip install pyqt5-tools

installs at:

WinPython-64bit-3.5.2.2Qt5\python-3.5.2.amd64\Lib\site-packages\pyqt5-tools\designer.exe

Starts ok!
