[Pyqt-mac-list] Configuration fix for Eric3 crashes on OS X

To all users of Eric3 with my PyQt-Mac package:

Geoff Canyon has documented an important fix for another package I
mantain, which crashes when trying to execute Python code from inside
the program. This fix is also applicable to Eric3, which crashes under
the same circumstances.

To run/debug Python code from inside the Eric3 IDE without crashing it,
go to Preferences, and select Debugger/Python. Check "custom Python
interpreter" and input this path:

/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.3/Resources/Python.app/Contents/MacOS/Python

This will allow you to run code, especially GUI code, that currently
crashes Eric3.

It won't fix the stability issues that sometimes arise when trying to
save files. I need to do a bit more work with Eric3 against Python 2.4.1
and see if it's more stable with file i/o; that's been my experience
with other Python packages running on 2.4.1. If such proves the case
with Eric, then I will put together a PyQt installer for Python 2.4.1.
