Hi Arno,

what about subscribing PyKDE? Pretty low traffic ML.

The problem seems to be related to the way, how eric resolves
the path of the source (using the path provided in the *.py{c,o}
files). This clashes with the way, SuSE built their python package,
which leads to these strange messages from eric. I solved this 
problem with the attached script:

pycompile -vao

will byte-compile the full python installation, thus requiring root
privilege. This choke on a few files in the test tree, which
seems to be expected, and on a few files, where it's not :-(

BTW: does somebody knows a faster way to generate pyc and pyo
files in one go? (I'm using a stupid system call to get it done)

I will try to ensure a clean python build from SuSE in their next 
distrib.
