Some Background

PyDev has Fabio Zadrozny as its maintainer. It has been created by Aleks Totic.

What is PyDev?

PyDev is a plugin that enables users to use Eclipse for Python development. It comes with many goodies such as code completion, syntax highlighting, syntax analysis, refactor, debug and many others. If you want more details on the provided features, you can check here.

News:

New Release: 0.9.8.1

Major highlights:

  • Java 1.4 support reintroduced.
  • Styles added for syntax highlighting (bold and italic), contributed by Gerhard Kalab.

Others that are new and noteworthy:

  • zombie process after exiting eclipse should not happen anymore
  • paths with '.' are accepted for the pythonpath (unless they start with a '.', because it may not accept relative paths).
  • relative imports are added to code-completion
  • local imports are taken into consideration when doing code completion
  • debugger has 'change support', so, changed variables in a scope appear red

OctetString



Pydev received a grant from OctetString to add Jython support to PyDev.

"OctetString, Inc uses PyDev in its management system to enable customers to develop data integration (mapping) scripts as part of its LDAP virtual directory server (a J2SE based application). As a user of PyDev, OctetString is pleased to be able to contribute back to the project and its success!" -Phil Hunt, Director of Engineering



Special thanks

This release would not be possible without help from:

OctetString, for the financial support for making jython support possible!
Vitor Oba for the change-support in the debugger!
Gerhard Kalab for the new styles in the syntax highlighting!
