If pyqt5-tools will be maintained for the foreseeable future that would 
be adequate for me. The Qt tools eric uses are the following

  * designer
  * linguist
  * assistant (optionally)
  * qcollectiongenerator
  * qhelpgenerator
  * lrelease

Support for macOS would be good but I doubt, I will be able to test eric 
on that platform for a long time anymore because my Mac is of old age 
and doesn't get updates anymore.
