"Personally, the pleasure I take in developping software is half linked to the language, half to the programming tools. With Pydev, I've got everything."

Franck Perez







"Pydev is a core tool in our development process, and is a major reason why Python has become viable for us as a production language. I look forward to each new release of Pydev as it is continually evolving into a more and more powerful development environment."

Eric Wittmann, Zoundry LLC.






What is Pydev?

Pydev is a Python IDE for Eclipse, which may be used in Python, Jython and IronPython development.

It comes with many goodies such as:

  • Actions:
    • Go to matching bracket (Ctrl + Shift + P)
    • Copy the qualified name of the current context to the clipboard.
    • Ctrl + Shift + T keybinding is resolved to show globals in any context (note: a conflict may occur if JDT is present -- it can be fixed at the keys preferences if wanted).

    • New template variables for next, previous class or method, current module, etc.
    • New templates for super and super_raw.
    • print is now aware of Python 3.x or 2.x
  • Code analysis and code completion:
    • Fixed problem when getting builtins with multiple Python interpreters configured.
    • If there's a hasattr(obj, 'attr), 'attr' will be considered in the code completion and code analysis.
    • Fixed issue where analysis was only done once when set to only analyze open editor.
    • Proper namespace leakage semantic in list comprehension.
    • Better calltips in IronPython.
    • Support for code-completion in Mac OS (interpreter was crashing if _CF was not imported in the main thread).
  • Grammar:
    • Fixed issues with 'with' being used as name or keyword in 2.5.
    • Fixed error when using nested list comprehension.
    • Proper 'as' and 'with' handling in 2.4 and 2.5.
    • 'with' statement accepts multiple items in python 3.0.
  • Improved hover:
    • Showing the actual contents of method or class when hovering.
    • Link to the definition of the token being hovered (if class or method).
  • Others:
    • Completions for [{( are no longer duplicated when on block mode.
    • String substitution can now be configured in the interpreter.
    • Fixed synchronization issue that could make Pydev halt.
    • Fixed problem when editing with collapsed code.
    • Import wasn't found for auto-import location if it import started with 'import' (worked with 'from')

What happened to Pydev Extensions?

Pydev Extensions is now merged with Pydev, and its once closed source code has become open source (on version 1.5.0). Thus, there is no more Pydev Extensions, only the open source Pydev, with all the capabilities of Pydev Extensions incorporated.
