[Eric] eric 4.4.2 stalls on openSUSE11.x86_64 - probably due to no-reply from network

[Arndt Meier]

Thanks, Detlev,

that fixed the problem. 

If I may make a suggestion: It would be really helpful to get a meaningful error message in the described case rather than just have the application stalling on you for no obvious reason. 

Cheers,
Art

Eric4 (and eric5) need a network connection to talk to the background
(debugger) process, which is responsible for the interactive Python shell as
well. However, it is sufficient, if this network interface is the loopback
device (127.0.0.1). Eric4 can listen on all network interface or just a
specific one. That can be configured on the Debugger->General page of the
config dialog.
