eric4 is relatively small, and dials home to see if there is an up to date version so it's not a burden. It's also a good advert for what you can do with PyQt. If you want to advertise PyInstaller then provide an eric4 plugin that converts a project to an installer at the click of a button ;) > * yes SSL.
