Eric on XP for Newbie

[jeffwatkins2000]

I'm starting on the path of freeing myself from proprietory software
but I need to migrate, not make one huge jump.

I'm looking at using Python and Eric for programming

I've got Python up and running but can someone please point me to a
simple step by step guide for installing Eric? I've downloaded the tar
files, but what do I do with them?

Thanks

Forget the tars.

Get the two EXEs here. BTW, I don't think Eric3 is a really good IDE on
Windows (yet). Try something like SPE, or Scite, or any other editor like
UltraEdit32.

N.B: you need first to install python, then pyqtgpl, then eric.

I've installed SPE. But what now? How do I run it? It doesn't appear
in "all programs" and ther's no .exe file that I can find

Which installer did you use? If you used the python25 installer, use
the python24 installer instead. (It will also work as it is not
specific to 2.4 I have removed the python25 installer.) Than the
shortcuts should appear in your "All Programs".

PS. A new version is about to released: http://pythonide.stani.be

Thanks guys

Found this on another blog and it seems to work - you need to run the
SPE.pyo file ...

In order to run SPE you need to install python from www.python.org
and wxpython 2.6 from wxpython.org.

Take a look at PyScripter also. I REALLY like it a lot on Windows:
