Starting/launching eric3

[Byte]

Decided to try the eric3 IDE, but I cant figure out how to start it!
When I extract the file, all I can see is a ton of files and Python
scripts. What script will run the program? Where is it? Please help!

-- /usr/bin/byte

OK, now I've managed to get it working, but when I run it the eric3
splash screen pops up, and then it says (in terminal):

eoin@laptop:~$ eric3
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/lib/site-python/eric3/eric3.py", line 147, in ?
main()
File "/usr/lib/site-python/eric3/eric3.py", line 132, in main
mw = UserInterface(loc, splash)
File "/usr/lib/site-python/eric3/UI/UserInterface.py", line 265, in
__init__
self.sbv = SBVviewer(dbs, self.sbvDock, 1)
File "/usr/lib/site-python/eric3/UI/SBVviewer.py", line 75, in
__init__
self.stackComboBox.sizePolicy().hasHeightForWidth( )))
TypeError: argument 1 of QSizePolicy() has an invalid type
Segmentation fault
eoin@laptop:~$

Just happen on my costumer ubuntu (and an old eric3 release).
I have solve it downloading the last (3.9.x if I remember correctly)
from eric3 home and overwrite the site-packages/eric directory. Now all
work great.
