[Eric] Cannot start Eric installed with PIP

[Orestes Mas]

Hello,

Following your announcement (that Eric is available through PIP) I 
wanted to try it so I did the usual steps. I'm on a linux system (debian 
testing).

1) Create a virtual python environment

     python3 -m venv EricIDE

2) Activate it

     source EricIDE/bin/activate

3) Install eric on it

     pip install eric-ide

4) Start Eric

     eric6

At this point an exception is thrown stating that Eric cannot find the 
eric6config module:

(EricIDE) orestes at tintin:~/Devel/EntornsPython$ eric6
Error in sys.excepthook:

Original exception was:
Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "/home/orestes/Devel/EntornsPython/EricIDE/bin/eric6", line 10, 
in <module>
     sys.exit(main())

line 25, in <module>
     from eric6config import getConfig
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'eric6config'

I've searched the sources and the only modules with "config" in its name 
are "eric6_configure.py" and 
ThirdParty/EditorConfig/editorconfig/__init__.py

Is perhaps something missing?

Thanks,

Orestes.
