ERIC7(1)

💖 eric7 💖

okay bestie, gather round, because this is the General Commands Manual page for eric7 — yes, section 1, the classics — and she is a full-fledged Python IDE and debugger and she is serving, fr fr. 🐍👑🐍

✨ NAME ✨

eric7 — a full-fledged Python IDE and debugger. that's it, that's the name line, no notes. 💅

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

eric7 [options] files...

so you run her, you hand her some options, you hand her some files..., and she does her whole thing. iconic behavior honestly. ✨

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

okay so let's be real for a sec: this manual page documents eric7 briefly. like, the short version. the vibes-only cut.

and here's the tea ☕ — this page exists because it was written for the Debian distribution, since the original program does not ship a manual page. nope. instead, the real documentation is provided in HTML format. so if you want the full dissertation, that's where she lives. 📚

so what is eric7? she's a full featured Python IDE written in PyQt, using the QScintilla editor widget. 💅 and the resume does not stop there:

• project management support ✨
• builtin support for SVN and CVS 🗂️
• a class browser 🔍
• a debugger 🐛
• and much more — the "much more" is doing heavy lifting and honestly? she's earned it. 👑

---

💅 OPTIONS 💅

so these programs follow the usual GNU command line syntax — meaning long options start with two dashes (-). a summary of the options is included below, bestie. 🎀

• -h, --help — shows a summary of options. (it's giving "help me help you" 🫶)
• -v, --version — shows the version of the program. (vibe check: which eric7 are we even running? 💀)
