Hi Travis, Presumably the best place for this kind of questions is the very Eric forum.See you there. - P.M.

Reports” as currently available at URL: http://eric-ide.python-projects.org/eric-documentation.html I’ve been growsing around lately for an alternate Python IDE. I like PyCharm, but I get tired of the Java shenanigans with it. So I decided to take the bait and try this one out. This were my “first five minutes” thoughts:1) I googled Eric IDE. It took me to your project page. I clicked downloads, but got no download link. Any reason not to actually link to the source forge downloads from that page?2) Glancing at features as I’m doing this, I see plugins for various SCMs, but not git? Maybe it’s included in the stock and doesn’t need a plugin? I hope so!3) This install is definitely “some assembly required” with the various dependencies. If I was in a TLDR mood, this probably would have killed me going forward. On a Debian Jessie/Testing box, I find myself asking, do I have these various things installed? No clue really. 4) I couldn’t figure out which debian package to install to get an QtSql module (per the install.py’s feedback). I have debian packages that look like they should be that. I *am* curious why I need an SQL module in the first place for an IDE?5) I wish this was python3Switching to my OS X box…1) The PyQT module installation became sufficiently involved, I bailed.I’d really like to try this out, especially on Linux. But that’s my “noob” experience at this point.
