Python support in Eclipse getting better
Browsing SourceForge today I was happy to see that there’s a new
Python plugin available for Eclipse:
It does more than syntax highlighting, offering a working outline view
that makes navigating large modules much faster. It gives you
the ability to run an interactive Python console within Eclipse, so you
don’t have to launch a seperate terminal window. And, of course, it’s
open source.
Also worth keeping an eye on: PyDev.
At first glance, this looks like YAEPPOSTHRAFY (Yet Another Eclipse Python Plugin On Sourceforge That
Hasn’t Released Any Files Yet), but a look at the project homepage reveals
a link to the author’s blog… which is hosted at

Yes, it looks like Alex Totek’s work on PyDev is being sponsored by
the OSA Foundation - in which case it could become the first-class development
environment I’ve been looking for.
