Install of course Python-2.4.1: http://python.org/ftp/python/2.4.1/python-2.4.1.msi You need to install Qt, Sip, QScintilla and PyQt. For linux things are easy. Install KDE (along with gnome if you want) and everything will be there ready for eric3 installation.
On Windows, you need to somehow get Qt. Besides a commercial license or an educational license (check with university) there exist 2 possibilitees for Qt free: (1) Qt4 free but I'm not sure about the status of the announced PyQt; and (2) Qt3 GPL. PyQt has everything you need for these possibilities, except for the GPL. For the free GPL download: http://www.quadgames.com/download/pythonqt/PyQtGPL10.exe. This will give you everything at once: Qt 3.3.4 (derived from http://kde-cygwin.sourceforge.net/) Sip 4.1.1 QScintilla 1.62 PyQt 3.13 After this get http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/eric-ide/eric-3.8.0.tar.gz?download Unpack into a directory under your python2.4 directory. Then issue 'python install.py' and you should be ready to go (eric will set itself up under site-packages) malv -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
