It
happens, sometimes,
that I download a “new” programming language or a framework or
library in order to give it a try. Of course the word “new” is
relative to my personal or professional experience, mostly orbiting
around the Java galaxy. This time the “new” programming language
is Python. Python is, of
course, a widely used and far from being a new programming language
but I never had the thought of giving it a try before.
Python on
Eclipse: PyDev
I'm
willing to learn new languages but I'm not so eager to install and
use a new IDE while doing it. I so went looking for a Python
development Eclipse plug-in and
the choice fell on PyDev.
Installing PyDev on Eclipse has been quite simple, just matter of
selecting it on Eclipse
Market Place and completing the installation wizard.
Before
creating the first project PyDev plug-in needs to know where python
interpreter is. There is a handy automatic search feature but I
preferred the manual configuration in order to have more meaningful
configuration names.
