Description: Eric is a Python IDE written using PyQt6 and QScintilla2. It has integrated project management capabilities, it gives you an unlimited number of editors, an integrated Python shell, an integrated debugger, integrated interfaces to Mercurial, Git and Subversion, integrated unittest and much more. It is extensible via an integrated plug-in system.
Eric requires Python 3 as a runtime environment.
It is available through the eric website at "http://eric-ide.python-projects.org".Last changelog:
Version 25.5
bug fixes
General - Modified the display of the crash session dialog to show the time stamp of the found crash session file and the path of the project file (if a project was open) (see issue584). - Modified the display of the crash session dialog to allow the removal of crash session files.
IRC - Removed the IRC interface and changed it to a plug-in available via the plug-in repository.
Project - Removed support for `pyqt5` project type. - Removed support for `pyside2` project type.
Virtual Environments - Prepared the virtual environments support for being expanded via plugins.
Cannot build anymore in 20.7. The install script complains that it cannot find QScintilla. This is intriguing since I have both QScintilla and PyQt5.
QScintilla could not be detected.
Error: /usr/lib64/python3.8/site-packages/PyQt5/Qt/lib/libQt5Core.so.5: version `Qt_5.15' not found (required by /usr/lib64/python3.8/site-packages/PyQt5/Qsci.so)
Shall 'QScintilla' be installed using pip? (Y/n) y
Requirement already satisfied: QScintilla in /usr/lib64/python3.8/site-packages (2.11.5)
Sorry, please install QScintilla2 and
its PyQt5 wrapper.

This probably resulted from having a mix of distribution provided PyQt packages (< Qt 5.15) and pip installed QScintilla (which is built against Qt 5.15). The solutions to this are
1. Install QScintilla and its Python bindings via your distribution package manager.
2. Create a Python virtual environment for eric and install eric (and PyQt5 and other prerequisites) in there. The steps are detailed on the eric-ide web site (https://eric-ide.python-projects.org).

I installed pip on Manjaro and built it from source using command 'sudo python3 install.py', I was missing some dependencies which it installed for me using pip. It works perfectly.

I didn't find any download link. Thanks!
It is a bit hidden. Under 'Files' click on '1 archived' and it will show a link.
