Eric is a free Integrated Development Environment for the Python and Ruby programming languages.

By design, it's acting as a frontend for several programs, for example the QScintilla editor widget, the python language interpreter, Bicycle Repair Man for doing Refactorings, Python Profiler for Code Profiling. If some of the functionalities aren't needed, they don't have to be installed. It is written using the PyQt Python bindings for the Qt GUI toolkit.

The main features are a project manager, an editor with syntax highlighting, debugging, profiling, running python code with support for commandline parameters, Unit Testing, User Interface design, a console for program output and a task manager (self-updating TODO list).
