[PyKDE] Eric3 version 3.9.1 causes problems when opening single *.py files

[Detlev Offenbach]

Hi,

that is a known problem caused by the win32 Qt-Free port (not by eric). I 
don't know of any workaround. Please be aware, that this port of Qt-X11 to 
Windows is not supported by eric3. It might work with a newer version of the 
port (if that exists) it might not. Another known problem is, that the mouse 
wheel doesn't work.
