  • environment without a binary installer? is the author still in school? via pip it is not installed, and yes, the syntax indicated on your site is visible for version 2 of python.
  • I had high hopes for this development environment, and the easy install feeling lasted under a minute. I signed in as root and did the indicated "python install.py" expecting the usual. Then came the big disappointment... If the required packages (Qt5/4, QScintilla2, sip and PyQt5/4) are not installed, please get them and install them in the following order (order is important). 1. Install Qt5 (from The Qt Company) 2. Build and install QScintilla2 (from Riverbank Computing) 3. Build and install sip (from Riverbank Computing) 4. Build and install PyQt5 (from Riverbank Computing) 5. Build and install QScintilla2 Python bindings (part of the QScintilla2 package) 6. Install eric6 I am unwilling to go through all this just to try out a piece of software. All the batteries are included, except all the ones that aren't. As an afterthought let me add. If you are going to write a software application that leverages off of a bunch of other people's work (with attribution) I guess that's ok. I don't see why you couldn't go to a little more trouble and either bundle the resources needed, or at least provide a smart installer that can manage the installation of the prerequisites.

    Meanwhile the install script does install the prerequisites from PyPi using pip.
  • This is the fourth time and 4 different versions I have tried to get to install. Never ever works. Troubleshooting gets me to the install.py as being at fault every time! I am learning Python and should not have to troubleshoot your install script. It has never been able to find the PyQT install location even when it is in my "Path" statement. This version is looking for "PyQT5.Core" when the actual PyQT5 install is labeled "QT5Core.dll"! So I ask "How can anyone possibly get this to install?!!" I am having trouble getting PyQT to do what I want so thought this IDE would add to the features enough to help me out. The PyQT5 "Designer" and "Assistant" work perfectly so why is this such a pain? For general info, I am on Win 7 x64. I have been using PyCharm but it does not have a GUI Builder so thought I would try this way. At this point I'm thinking of just going the route of "Build Your Own" and sticking with PyCharm since it is just the best! Thanks and maybe I'll try again next year!
  • There is no way install and run this project! I am using Windows7 x64 OS .. I tried again and again to install Eric6; Too much complicated installation process. I lost 3 days for try to use that project! But no way! Is someone install and run Eric IDE on Windows x64 system?! There dozen source code; But there is not a 1 click installation progress! I installed Qt5; PyQt; QScintilla2; sip but not running!

  • Does not compile on Mint17 ('module' object has no attribute '__all__'). I was looking for an IDE to study Python, but you have to know python to install an IDE. It is a Monty Python suggestion, i presume.
