Install PyDev in Eclipse
Tested with Eclipse 3.5 (Galileo) on Ubuntu 8.10 (Intrepid Ibex).
Installation
In Eclipse
- Help -> Install New Software...
- Add... button -> Name:
PyDev, Location:http://pydev.org/updates - Below check PyDev, “Next...” button, accept the licence terms and launch the installation
Configuration
Interpreter
To create a Python project, an interpreter needs to be set first:
- Window -> Preferences
- Pydev -> Interpreter - Python
- New... button -> Interpreter Name:
Python, Interpreter Executable:/usr/bin/python - Apply button
Editor Colors
The comments by default are quite unreadable (light grey) and overall it looks pretty ugly (to me). One solution is to adopt TextMate's colors.
- Window -> Preferences
- Pydev -> Editor
- Comments: #0066FF
- Strings: #036A07 (uncheck Italic)
- Decorators: #0C450D (uncheck Italic)
- Function Name: #0000A2
- Keywords: check Bold
