Hi Jack,

I've received approval for a Sourceforge project for my PyQt-Mac
distribution. I'm planning to put together a package installer of
everything, and I'm also going to include an applet bundle of Eric3.
Can't get it bundled as a standalone with py2app, and PyQt has so many
moving parts that I couldn't even begin to give Bob useful information
on debugging it--but that's not a problem if all of PyQt is installed.
Given this, I'm not sure it makes much sense to add Eric3 to the packman
database, but if you want to, that's fine. For what it's worth, I'm
using an older version of Eric--3.5 was just released last month and
crashes often, but 3.4.2 from last spring is very stable.

I'm not going to include the Macpython extensions, but will refer people
to download them if needed.

When I have everything packaged to my satisfaction and I feel it's ready
~ to go, I'll send general download instructions to the list.

It's ironic--I'm still not very far with learning Python development per
se (my current big project, a GUI for DarwinPorts, is written with
TkAqua, since DarwinPorts itself is written in Tcl), but I'm very
interested in Qt and have spent a lot of time learning to build it--so
this is fairly straightforward for me, and dovetails well with my
interest in Python. Plus, with Qt licensing being unproblematic on the
Mac, I think having this available opens up a lot of nice tools for
Python developers. So, I'm glad to take this on.

All best,
Kevin
