/usr/lib/python${VERSION}/site-packages/eric4/ThirdParty contains internal copies of dev-python/chardet and dev-python/pygments.
4.4 snapshots also bundle an internal copy of dev-python/simplejson. Anyway, eric-4.4_pre20090821 is fixed in qting-edge overlay.
(In reply to comment #1) > 4.4 snapshots also bundle an internal copy of dev-python/simplejson. dev-python/simplejson is deprecated. Please add a patch to not require dev-python/simplejson when Python >=2.6 is installed. dev-util/eric doesn't have any reverse depencencies, so you can even unconditionally require Python >=2.6.
eric/Helpviewer/OpenSearch/OpenSearchEngine.py already contains: try: import json except ImportError: try: import simplejson as json except ImportError: import ThirdParty.SimpleJSON.simplejson as json So only dependencies need to be fixed.
Dependencies fixed, thanks!
Original issue still present in 4.3.10-r1 (current latest ~arch).
This has been fixed some time ago for eric-4.4_pre* snapshots (in qting-edge). Do you want a patch against 4.3.10-r1?
Fixed in tree for >=eric-4.4.0
(In reply to comment #7) > Fixed in tree for >=eric-4.4.0 But these fixes should be backported to 4.3 in my opinion. At least 4.3.10-r1 as that is the next stable candidate. We can then remove the earlier versions.
(In reply to comment #8) It would require dropping of keywords, so IMHO it's not worth backporting.
