   Yup, I just tested this using Python 3.4 & and its tarfile module, 
and it does not report the extra PaxHeaders.### folders.

   Could you add an explicit note regarding this next to your download 
links (possibly at 
'http://eric-ide.python-projects.org/eric-download.html')?

   I use .tar.gz files by default usually (as they are smaller than 
their .zip counterparts), and the problem takes a while to 
understand/debug having to work through some mysterious Python error 
traceback. All that really gave me a feeling of 'baaah... what is this 
sh*t... why am I wasting my time with this... and I just want to install 
an editor...'. :-(

P.S.
   Haven't given up yet. ;-)
