Installing Eric4

Eric4 is more involved to install than SPE. Install SIT ftp http://www.riverbankcomputing.co.uk/static/Downloads/sip4/sip-4.7.7.tar.gz python configure.py make sudo make install Install PyQT ftp http://www.riverbankcomputing.co.uk/static/Downloads/PyQt4/PyQt-mac-gpl-4.4.3.tar.gz python configure.py make sudo make install Install QScintilla ftp http://www.riverbankcomputing.co.uk/static/Downloads/QScintilla2/QScintilla-gpl-2.3.tar.gz cd Qt4 qmake qscintilla.pro make sudo make install Now make the Qsci module cd ../python python configure.py make sudo make install Now install Eric sudo python install.py

Installing SPE

Install wxPython mac OS dmg Grab spe from subversion : svn checkout svn://svn.berlios.de/python/spe/trunk/_spe SPE runs right off the bat. The things I didn't like Small interface bugs involving the side panels. Somewhat kludgy editor font handling (if you switch from the default courier font) Somewhat unresponsive Otherwise it has what I need - code intelligence, code completion, syntax highlighting.

Where to post code snippets on line

As I've been learning python and using it more and more in my analysis work I've been wondering where I can go to post and find code snippets for python. A central file exchange, much like matlab's file exchange, would be great. I'm thinking of a very streamlined, blog like interface, where you log in, upload a bunch of .py files and then write a little description of what the code does and add some tags to it. I asked this question on the matplotlib mailing list and got the following pointers to snippet repositories: Activestate (from Michael Droettboom) Snipplr (from Derek Hohls)
