I am wondering if the problem with Eric is not the package itself but
the fact that it's built against the Apple system Python (2.3.5)? I
noticed a big improvement in stability in my wxPython packages when I
moved to Python 2.4.1. However, for various reasons, I've not been able
to get a clean build of PyQt against Python 2.4.1. I did note a comment
at this website (http://zaylea.net/2005/05/good-python-ide-maybe.html)
that Eric seems to perform better with 2.4.

When PyQt 4 comes out, I'm going to shift support to 2.4.1. Hopefully
Eric3 will perform better there.
