💖 ERIC6(1) — General Commands Manual 💖

okay bestie, sit down, hydrate, and let me tell you about eric6 — it's giving full-fledged Python IDE and debugger, and it's literally the main character of your dev setup. this page lives in section 1 of the manual, so consider this your group-chat briefing. 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

eric6 — a full-fledged Python IDE and debugger. yes, both. it's multi-talented. 💅

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

eric6 [options] files...

that's it. options, then the files you want to feed it. periodt.

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

okay so this manual page documents briefly the eric6 program. and here's the tea: this page was written for the Debian distribution because the original program does not have a manual page. instead, it has documentation provided in HTML format. so if you want the deep lore, go read the HTML, bestie — this is the speedrun version. 💀

now, what is eric6? it is a full featured Python IDE that is written in PyQt using the QScintilla editor widget. iconic combo, no cap.

and the feature list? it's long and it ate:

  • project management support
  • builtin support for SVN and CVS
  • a class browser
  • a debugger
  • and much more ✨

it's giving "everything you need in one window" energy. 🔥

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

these programs follow the usual GNU command line syntax, with long options starting with two dashes (`-`). a summary of options is included below. not a lot of them, but they're important, iykyk. 💜

  • -h, --help — show summary of options. your little "what do i do now" bestie. 🥺
  • -v, --version — show version of program. for when you need to know exactly which eric6 you're talking to. ⭐
fr fr, that's the whole options list. short, sweet, slaying.

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

the whole eric6 extended universe, bestie — go explore, there's so many siblings:

a whole family. one big happy toolkit. 🧚
