[opensuse] eric the python IDE
So as I am starting my education in python, something comes up here that tells me I need to know more about how opensuse packages things... On my bigger laptop in which I am running tumbleweed, I see that eric6 is available from the regular repositories as an official release. However, in leap 15, only eric5 is available. Eric6 has not yet made it into the official repositories. On the opensuse package search, I can see that eric6 is available as an "experimental" package (and it is one version higher than the tumbleweed version of eric6 - tumbleweed has released eric6-18.09, but the experimental packages have released eric6-18.10. There are also 2 "community" packages available for eric6 - one is 18.09 and the other is 18.10. Then there are also some builds of eric6 that are available from the build service that didn't show up in the package search. So I am trying to decide what would be better - to download someone's community version they have made available, or the experimental package? Thoughts out there - what do you all prefer in situations like this? Do you all prefer a community package that a user has put together, or do you prefer something that comes from opensuse? What also would be your reasons for your preference? -- George Box: 42.3 | KDE Plasma 5.8 | AMD Phenom IIX4 | 64 | 32GB Laptop #1: TW | Plasma 5.13 | AMD FX 7TH GEN | 64 | 32GB Laptop #2: 15.0 | KDE Plasma 5.8 | Core i5 | 64 | 8GB -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
Hi, Can’t comment on eric6, I don’t use it, I would suggest you to try Eclipse with PyDev, somewhat quirky but universal, used it to develop Python macros for LibreOffice. Will try it to make Arduino sketches in nearby feature. Eclipse is universal development platform, its capabilities can be extended with plugins, e.g. PHP.

Ok follow-up question - which version of Eclipse? The pydev website recommends installing LiClipse, which seems to be a fork of Eclipse, but I am not so sure. Any ideas on that? Better to just get Eclipse and then find the pydev plugin and install it, or better to go get LiClipse, which seems to have bundled PyDev? -- George Box: 42.3 | KDE Plasma 5.8 | AMD Phenom IIX4 | 64 | 32GB Laptop #1: TW | Plasma 5.13 | AMD FX 7TH GEN | 64 | 32GB Laptop #2: 15.0 | KDE Plasma 5.8 | Core i5 | 64 | 8GB -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Going to the experimental package in devel:languages:python (which is the repo that feeds factory) and then on "users" I see that "frispete" is the maintainer of that package there. And lo and behold, he's got eric6-18.10 for Leap 15.0 in his home-repo (aka community package). So that'd be what I'd take.
