[PyQt] ANN: eric 5.5.1 released

[Detlev Offenbach]

Hi Marcus,

there is no direct relation to Riverbank. Well, the correct story is, that I took over a defunct 
graphical debugger, which was eric version 2.x. This happened in 2002. At this time I wanted to 
learn Python and Qt and this had both. Learning by doing is often a good way to go and I got it 
working with relatively minor fixes. As Phil ported the Scintilla editor library to Qt I suggested to 
develop eric into a full blown development environment. He was happy and I did it. Today there 
is nearly no code left over from these days. That is the short story of eric. If you are wondering, 
why it was called 'eric', just think, why the standard Python IDE was called 'idle' and why 
Python was called Python (hint: it is not the snake).

PyQt (and QScintilla) is the foundation eric is built upon.

The target audience is every developer who wants to program with Python (2 or 3) and needs an 
IDE. That is from noobies up to professionals.

Regards,
Detlev
