[Pyqt-mac-list] qt/mac and eric3 performance

[Tim L. <tim...@ya...>]

Hello, all.  I like Eric on linux, and haven't found anything 
comparable under os-x, so I'm trying qt/mac.  I'm trying to run Eric 
and QT-Designer on a 1.8 ghz G5 iMac with 2 gig of memory and a 10,000 
rpm raptor harddrive.  I would hope QT would be reasonably snappy on 
this equipment, but it isn't.  QT-designer is sluggish and Eric is 
sloooooooooooow.  Does this match others' experience, or might there be 
some troubleshooting that I need to do to get things moving a little 
quicker?  Everything does work--I'm crash-free so far and Eric is 
usable, but only barely, and it isn't pleasant.

I think it's safe to say that PyQt on the Mac is a bit fragile. The
version of Eric that I bundled is quite old (2.4, released in May 2004;
it's up to 2.61 now) as more recent versions are very crash-prone or
won't even run.

Given that PyQt has so many moving parts, when I got everything built
and just running without crashes, I decided to leave it alone rather
than track the updates in sip, PyQt, and Eric. I'll do another package
once Qt/4 is out, and the bugs have been reported. Perhaps that will be
more optimized for the Mac; certainly Qt 3 is far from perfect in this
regard.
