[PyQt] ANN: eric 6.0.0-RC1 released

[Detlev Offenbach]

Hi Collin,

I have to extend my last response. In order to install eric6 in a virtualenv on Mac you must use the -b, -m and -p switch to tell the install script the details. I am doing something like that

sudo ~/py3qt50env/bin/python install.py -b ~/py3qt50env/bin -m eric60.app -p ~/py3qt50env/bin/python

Regards,
Detlev

This caused the script to generate a bad soft link (eric6.app/Contents/MacOS/eric). When I manually corrected the link eric6 started to run but couldn’t import PyQt5.
