Pydev

Pydev is a plugin that enables users to use Eclipse for Python and Jython development, making Eclipse a first class Python IDE. It comes with many goodies such as code completion, syntax analysis, refactor, syntax highlighting, debug and many others.

Pydev and Pydev Extensions are now products of Aptana, makers of the popular Aptana Studio, Eclipse-based IDE for Ajax, Jaxer, Ruby on Rails, and PHP. You can plug Pydev into Aptana Studio or both into Eclipse and use them side by side. Aptana plans deeper integrations in the future.

Pydev Extensions is a plugin that works with Pydev, providing many other features such as code-analysis, code completion with auto-import, a much better implementation of go to definition, remote debugging, 'quick-fixes', mark-occurrences, among others.

Features:

• Pydev Package Explorer: Editor-link does not remove focus from current editor if it's already a match (bug when compare editor was opened)
• Pydev debugger: Showing set and frozenset contents
• Pydev debugger: Watch working in eclipse 3.4
• Pydev debugger: Breakpoint properties accept new lines and tabs
• Pydev debugger: Workaround for python bug when filenames don't have absolute paths correctly generated
• Pydev code-completion: Wild import will only show tokens defined in __all__ (if it's available)
• Interactive console: Fixed problem when more attempts to connect were needed
• Interactive console: Fixed console integration problem with other plugins because of interfaces not properly implemented
• Incremental find: Backspace works correctly
• Launch icons: Transparent background (thanks to Radim Kubacki)
• Code Formatter: Exponentials handled correctly
• Launching: Unit-test and code-coverage may launch multiple folders/files at oncePydev Package Explorer: Editor-link does not remove focus from current editor if it's already a match (bug when compare editor was opened)

What is new in this release:

• Interactive console The interpreter tbe used can be chosen
• New modules can be created from templates
• Interpreter configuration improved!
• Environment variables can be specified for a given interpreter
• Canceling operation now works correctly
• Debugger:
• Variables correctly gotten on Jython 2.1 / 2.2
• Using globals as an union of original globals+locals sthat generator expressions can be evaluated
• Breakpoints only opened on double-click (nlonger on select)
• The project preferences are now applied even if the page tconfigure the project is not visible.
• Jython 2.5b1 working (problem with sitecustomize)
• Wrap paragraph fixed
• Set comprehension working on Python 3.0 parsing
• Find definition working when a module outside of the known pythonpath is found
• Source folders were not properly found sometimes -- when workspace was not properly refreshed
• Invalid modules could get in the memory
• Getting the grammar version for a project could be wrong (and could loose its indexing at that time)
• Multiple external zip files can be added at once tthe pythonpath
• nonlocal added tkeywords
• Fixed annoying problem where cursor was jumping when it shouldn't (outline)
• Fixed problem where the breakpoint could be lost (now, playing safe and matching anything in the file if the context cannot be gotten)
• Ctrl + 2 + --reindex can be used treindex all the opened projects if the indexing becomes corrupt
• Changing nothing on project config and pressing OK nlonger reanalyzes the modules

What is new in version 1.3.24:

• Code-completion: when a relative import was used from __init__ and the imported module used a token from the __init__ in a 'full' way, pydev did not recognize it
• Debugger: Fixed debugger halting problem
• Debugger and Jython: Debugger working with Jython (itertools and pid not available).
