To install it add for IDE 4.5 (Tau) the Eclipse 3.3 update site to Help->Software Updates->Find and install... . Select the radio button named "Search for new features to install" and click Next. Then it is possible to add a "New Remote Site...".

For most distributions of Eclipse, there should already be a "Europa Discovery Site" defined in the Update Manager. Otherwise you can add the following URL as a remote update site in the update manager.

http://download.eclipse.org/releases/europa/

See Eclipse Help for general information about using Update Manager.

To get the latest version of Mylyn you may add the Mylyn update site, too. This is the necessary URL:

http://download.eclipse.org/tools/mylyn/update/e3.3

Next important extension is PyDev (http://pydev.sourceforge.net). This is the URL for the remote update site:

http://pydev.sourceforge.net/updates/

Kontynuując "cykl" tematów dotyczących języków skryptowych, chciałem przedstawić, w jaki sposób wykorzystać moje ulubione IDE Eclipse do pracy z Python'em.

Jeden adres i wszystko staje się proste i jasne - EasyEclipse for Python.
Na podanej stronie dostępne jest mnóstwo informacji na temat korzystania z Eclipse w pracy z Pythonem, poradniki dla początkujących oraz opis zawartości "dystrybucji", który pozwolę sobie tutaj zamieścić:

Główne komponenty:

• Eclipse Platform - podstawowa platforma Eclipse,
• Java for Windows - Środowisko Javy (Windows),
• Java for Linux - Środowisko Javy (Linux),

Narzędzia pracy z Javą:

• Eclipse Java Development Tools - Edytor, kompilator, debugger, tester, narzędzie do refaktoringu,
• Eclipse Tools - Zestaw bibliotek i narzędzi wspomagających różne aspekty tworzenia aplikacji ,

Wybrane niezbędne narzędzia:

• AnyEdit Tools - rozszerzone menu kontekstowe,
• Eclipse Utils Plugins - m.in zapamiętywanie stanu (pozycji kursora) w dokumentach przy ponownym odpaleniu Eclipse,
• Color Editor - kolorowanie składni do ponad stu różnych rodzajów składni,

IDE dla tworzenia w Python'ie:

• PyDev - główny plugin umożliwiający tworzenie, debugowanie i refaktoring dla Python'a i Jython'a - dokładna lista dostępna na stronie domowej projektu PyDev - plugin ten można ściągnąć osobno jeśli mamy już Eclipse z serii Ganymede,

Systemy kontroli wersji:

• Eclipse CVS client,
• Subclipse.

Okazuje się, że Eclipse świetnie wykorzystuje swój potencjał, otwartą architekturę i system plugin'ów - w tym przypadku nie jest inaczej i dostarczone rozwiązanie jest bardzo dobre oraz wciąż rozszerzane.

I've been doing this software engineering thing for a while now, and before that I was dabbling with all the languages one is forced to learn during a four-year computer science program (I guess that's what counts as wild and crazy college experimentation for computer geeks); but, I've never had a reason to learn Python. Now I do. A new language, though, means a new tool set.

I suppose it doesn't really need to mean using a new tool set -- you can always use [insert your favorite text editor here]. But if you want to be productive, you've got to have a real tool; that's why we invented integrated development environments. So, I went hunting for a worthwhile Python IDE and settled on PyDev for Eclipse.

I've used Eclipse before so I figured it couldn't be that hard to adapt to a new language in familiar environment. But, of course a new language means new options and menus and new options and menus mean that what should be a completely familiar environment is not so familiar.

So with my new-found entry-level Python skills and a repurposed development environment I set off to put the basic features of Ogre3d to work. The Ogre3d (and Python-Ogre) community have a tremendous amount of information available; for newcomers they've compiled a large set of beginner and intermediate tutorials which cover the basic concepts. It was these practically pre-written code blocks I set out to experiment with.

I suppose I should have known it's never as easy as it sounds.

The beauty of having very little time to work on a project is that you can't get too frustrated in a single session because sessions are so short. So, three hour-long blocks later I decided I needed help. As it turns out, my code was right, my environment was right and even my use of the API was right; the problem was that I didn't have the engine configuration engine correct.

A single post in the forums and 24 hours of waiting for a response solved the problem. Now I'm up and running through the tutorials. Seeing a single, rather ugly, non-animated, 3d image appear on the screen is never quite so satisfying as when you've written the code to cause its appearance.

The main thing problem was that i had to add ALL folders to the pydev project settings. And, i didn't have time (and patience) to add one folder by one to the config screen, sooo, i created this script to do that for me:

#!/usr/bin/env python

import dircache, os

def listdr(_dir):
try:
dir_list  = dircache.listdir(os.path.realpath(_dir))
dir_list = [_dir + "/" + d for d in dir_list]
only_dirs = filter(lambda d: os.path.isdir(d), dir_list)

file = os.path.realpath(_dir)
print "<path>%s</path>" % file

for dir in dir_list:
listdr(dir)

except:
return

if __name__ == "__main__":
listdr("/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/django/")

This script will show all folders under /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/django/ with that tags <path>, ready to add to the .pydevproject configuration file (that's under your project file).

How to setup your working environment 

There is only 5 easy steps to be happy with amazing Python development process. 

Install MacPorts 

As python developer you need python. Let system use system python, we need developer's python for development. Go to MacPorts download area and grab latest version (something like MacPorts-1.5.0-10.4.dmg). Then install it.

Install python and Postgres

Now open Terminal and run:

$sudo port install python24 py-readline py-pil postgresql82 postgresql82-server subversion psycopg

And follow instructions, Postgres need your attentions! Personally for me I'm adding to this list:

$sudo port install iTerm joe mc

iTerm - better than Terminal.app, joe - good console editor (useful if you need quick edit some system files), and mc - console file manager saving some more time on regular files operations. Now, you have python and postgres.

Install Eclipse and extensions

Open Eclipse.org/downloads in your browser. I'm download Eclipse IDE for Java Developers because it contain some of extensions that I need. Run Eclipse and open `Help/Software Update/Find and Install` menu. Then add this repositories to list:

• Pydev - http://pydev.sourceforge.net/updates/
• Subclipse - http://subclipse.tigris.org/update_1.2.x
• svnkit - http://svnkit.com/
• anyedit - http://andrei.gmxhome.de/eclipse/
• gted - http://gted.sourceforge.net/update/

Check box near Europa Discovery Site and press Finish button. Then select extensions for Eclipse 3.3 from new repositories. And add this items from Europa list:

• Graphical Editing Framework
• Graphical Modeling Framework
• Web Standard Tools
• Object Constraint Language
• UML 2 End User Features
• UML 2 Tools
• XML Schema Infoset Model (XSD) Extender SDK
• Eclipse XML Editors and Tools 

Don't forget press "Select Required" before press "Next>" and complete install wizard. Close and open again Eclipse (sometimes "Restart" not working properly) 

Configure Eclipse and extensions

 There is only two thing I need to say you.

• First is error in SVN options (Eclipse menu/Preferences, Team/SVN), you need to select SVNKit as SVN Interface
•  Second go to Pydev/Interpreter Python, press New... and find `/opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.4/bin/python2.4` then press Apply

Install Zope

Last step: It depends on what Zope version you want to use.

• If you use Zope 3.3, then get Zope-3.3.0.tgz , unpack and read INSTALL.txt
• Zope 3.4 based on egg python distributions. Use this instructions to install it.

Congratulations! 

Now you are ready for Hivurt Revolution! 

Eclipse + PyDev.

Pour installer Pydev dans Eclipse vous devez aller dans le menu d'installation :

Selectionner 'Search for new features for install'

Dans l’écran suivant, cliquez sur 'new remote site'

Configurer la fenêtre avec cette URL : http://pydev.sourceforge.net/updates/
NOTE: Si vous souhaitez utiliser la version commerciale, vous devez utiliser l’URL suivante : http://www.fabioz.com/pydev/updates

First thing that you would need is to have your Django project ready. You can check one of my previous posts on how to get this done if you need to.

Setting up PyDev
Some settings need to be changed/updated to get going. Open Eclipse and click on "Window -> Preferences..." from the main menu. In the "Preferences" dialogue that opens, expand the "PyDev" node in the tree and select "Interpreter - Python" node. Next to "Python interpreters" click on the "New..." button and select the location where your Python is installed. Click on the "OK" button to close the "Preferences" dialogue.

Step 1 complete.

Creating the Project
In Eclipse, click on "File -> New -> Project..." in the main menu. A "New Project" dialogue window will come up. Select "Pydev Project" from the tree and then click on the "Next" button. In the "Project name" field on the next screen enter the name of the directory you used when creating your Django application (note that the Eclipse Workspace should be the parent directory of your project).

You should now notice that in the "Navigator" window in Eclipse should show all the files that were created in your Django project.

Step 2 complete.

Debugging
To be able to run and debug your Django project through Eclipse is pretty simple. In Eclipse, click on "Run -> Debug..." in the main menu which will then open the "Debug" dialogue window. In the tree double click on the "Python Run" node. Click on the "Browse..." button in the project section and select your Django project. Then click on the "Browse..." button under "Main Module" and select "manage.py".

Now click on the "Arguments" tab and enter "runserver --noreload" in the "Program Arguments" field. Click the "Apply" button and you're all done.

Step 3 complete.

All that's left is to click on the "Debug" and you're off. Happy debugging :)

• In den Einstellungen beim Python-Interpreter gtk, gobject, pango und evtl. weitere Module wie zum Beispiel gnomevfs als Forced builtins eintragen.
• Den System PYTHONPATH um /var/lib/python-support/python2.5/gtk-2.0 erweitern.
• Einstellungen übernehmen.

Dass dann die Inline-Doku als zweites Popup fehlt, läßt sich wohl nicht beheben, da PyGTK schlichtweg keine hat ;-)

When it comes to my Django environment, Eclipse is the IDE of choice (so far for me). A little while ago I wrote about some pretty good Python IDEs in Following the Path and Following the Path [lost chronicles] which still stands so far. This post is more about why I like using Eclipse for Django development specifically and how to set it up with the specific plugins mentioned later.

Note that all the commands mentioned below were done in Ubuntu 7.04 Feisty Fawn.

Lets start with why I'm enjoying Eclipse at the moment for my Django development. Basically because of it's plugin nature, Eclipse has a plugin for almost anything including, Subversion, Python, HTML, CSS and Javascript. That's pretty sweet in my books for someone creating a Python based website.

Installing Eclipse
To install Eclipse in Ubuntu is as easy as the proverbial pie. Open a terminal window and enter the following command:

$ sudo apt-get install eclipse
$ sudo chmod -R 777 /usr/lib/eclipse/

We need to set the folder permissions with "chmod" so that we can install Eclipse plugins. Now start up your brand new Eclipse by going to "Applications -> Programming -> Eclipse" in the Gnome menu.

Installing PyDev
PyDev is a plugin for Eclipse with many great features for Python which include:

• Python and Jython support.
• Code completion.
• Debugger.
• Syntax highlighting.
• Parser errors.
• Outline view.
• Tabs or spaces preferences.
• Smart indent / dedent.
• Comment / uncomment / comment blocks.
• Code folding.
• Refactoring with BRM or PEPTIC.
• Go to definition with BRM.
• Pylint integration.
• TODO tasks.
• Content Assistants (Ctrl+1).

To install PyDev we will use the Eclipse Update Manager. In Eclipse, click on "Help -> Software Updates -> Find and Install" which will open the Update Manager. Then click on the "Search for new features to install" radio button and then the "Next" button. Click on the "New Remote Site" button and make the "Name" whatever you want and the "URL" must be "http://pydev.sourceforge.net/updates/" and then click on the "OK" button.

The newly created remote site should be automatically checked. Click on the "Finish" button which will then show you the "Search Results" screen. Click on the check box next to your new remote site. I selected only the PyDev option. You can de-select the "Optional" option by clicking on the arrow in the list view and clicking on the check box next to "Optional". Click on the "Next" button once your choices are made. If you agree with the term then click on the agree radio button and then the "Next" button. Confirm the installation by clicking on the "Finish" button and watch Eclipse do it's magic.

Once Eclipse has all it needs it will ask what you want to install from the remote site. Click the "Install All" button. Done.

Installing Subversive
Subversive plug-in provides Subversion support (CVS is already built into Eclipse). You can use the same steps above to get Subversive using http://www.polarion.org/projects/subversive/download/1.1/update-site/ as the "URL" for the "Remote Site". Some of the features that Subversive has include:

• Connection to the repository using different connection types.
• Repository browsing.
• Check-out.
• Synchronization.
• Commiting.
• Updating.
• Resolving conflicts.
• Adding to the list of ignored resources.

Once done here we can then move onto our last plugin.

Installing Eclipse HTML Editor
Eclipse HTML Editor is what I use for my HTML, Javascript and CSS, not that this is all it does but it's all that I use it for. Here are some of the features it has:

• Syntax highlighting.
• HTML/JSP preview.
• JSP/XML validation.
• Contents assist.
• HTML/JSP/XML wizards.
• Outline view.
• Editor preferences.
• Code folding.
• Image viewer.
• Tag palette.
• CSS code completion and outline.
• DTD code completion, outline and validation.
• Javascript code completion, outline and validation.

Unfortunately this plugin does not have a "URL" for the Eclipse Update Manager to use so we need to manually download it and copy it over. To download it go here and select the newest copy (I got tk.eclipse.plugin.htmleditor_2.0.4.zip).

Once you have downloaded it, unzip the file which will create a "plugins" directory. Copy that directory into your Eclipse directory (/usr/lib/eclipse). When asked if you would like to replace the "plugins" folder, click the "Replace" button.

Restart your Eclipse and use it for all your Python, HTML, CSS, Javascript and Subverision needs which is super handy when you're looking for that all-in-one Django environment.

When you simply type Python IDE into Google you get quite a few results back. There are two pay-for IDEs that seem to stick out a lot, namely Komodo IDE and WingWare. For now though I do not want to pay for anything. I basically want to see how far I get and how good or bad that experience is, which is not to say that I will not support the projects at a later stage. So lets look at some of the free IDEs that seem to stick out.

1. Geany
This is small and fast and has most of the features I would need.

Basic features include:

1. Syntax highlighting.
2. Code folding.
3. Code completion.
4. Auto completion of often used constructs like if, for and while.
5. Auto completion of XML and HTML tags (nice for Django template)
6. Call tips.
7. Many supported filetypes like C, Java, PHP, HTML, Python, Perl, Pascal (full list).
8. Symbol lists.

The other advantage that Geany has is that it has both a Windows installer and as well as being available in the Ubuntu repository. Unfortunately my laptop has to be Windows for work purposes and at home I am fully Ubuntu :)

To install Geany in Ubuntu open a Terminal window and type the following in:

$ apt-get install geany

2. SPE IDE - Stani's Python Editor
SPE is an open-source, multi-platform python IDE with wxPython interface.

Basic features include:

1. Auto indentation and code completion.
2. Call tips.
3. Syntax coloring and highlighting.
4. UML viewer.
5. Class explorer.
6. Source index.
7. Auto todo list.
8. Sticky notes.
9. Pycrust shell.
10. File browsers.
11. Drag and drop support.
12. Context help.
13. Blender support
14. Winpdb is a GPL python debugger.
15. Smart breakpoints.
16. Multiple threads.

It is pretty much kitted out as far as IDEs go and so far for me at least seems pretty quick. It also has a Windows installer which is a plus for me and hopefully no one else.

To install SPE IDE in Ubuntu open a Terminal window and type the following in:

$ apt-get install spe

3. Eclipse and PyDev
Personally I find that Eclipse needs a slightly higher-end machine and even then it can get a bit sluggish. I use it mainly for Java development at work so I am really looking for something new... for myself at least :) However, that said, PyDev is worth mentioning.

Basic features include:

1. Auto indentation and code completion.
2. Debugger.
3. Refactoring.
4. Templates.
5. Syntax analysis and highlighting.
6. Code folding with BRM.
7. Parser errors.
8. Smart indenting.

PyDev also has a commercial version called "PyDev Extensions" with some extra add-ons. Here is a complete list of the features for both versions.

4. My Choice
I think I'm going with SPE IDE. It looks to be feature rich as well as quick. If you have any opinions or things I should know about, drop a comment and let me know.

For now, I'm off to see what Python tutorials are out there for me to find. Know of any good ones? Let me know :)

Однако это еще не все, на что способна эта замечательная среда разработки. Если вы создаете сложное современное приложение, но наверняка используете на всю мощь язык JavaScript, стили CSS и имеете кучу html со сложной структурой. Эта статья описывает, как можно еще больше облегчить себе жизнь и установить расширения для web-разработки от компании Aptana Studio.

Начнем сначала, запускаем Eclipse и выбираем в меню Help -> Software Updates -> Find and Install. В появившемся окне щелкаем по пункту Search for new features to install и нажмаем кнопку Next:

В появившемся окне нажимаем кнопку New remote site и вводим в поле Name - Aptana, а в поле URL: http://update.aptana.com/update/studio/3.2

В базовом окне установим галочку напротив вновь добавленного компонента Aptana. Ждем кнопку Finish:

В следующем экране выберем компоненты пакета: Eclipse Integration и Features. Жмем кнопку Next:

Читаем и принимаем лицензию:

В завершение нажимаем кнопку Finish:

Ну и далее нажимаем кнопку Install All:

Eclipse попросит перезагрузки для того, чтобы все установки вступили в силу. Перезагружаемся, открываем в нашем проекте любой html шаблон и видим прелесть:

Дополнительно к нашей среде разработки мы получили три интегрированных редактора: HTML, JavaScript, CSS файлов. Плюс на закуску - встроенный отладчик JavaScript и просмотр готовых страниц в соседней вкладке. Так как мы используем сложную генерацию страниц на стороне сервера, нам потребуется создать кастомизированный вид предварительного просмотра приложения. Щелкаем по зеленому плюсу справа от вкладки Default внизу окна редактирования файла и создаем новый вид. Произвольно называем его (допустим, GAE Preview), выбираем опцию Absolute URL и указываем адрес этой страницы, совпадающий в приложении (например http://localhost:9999/results в нашем случае). Нажимаем Save:

Обратите внимание, что перед предварительным просмотром локальный сервер должен быть запущен (меню Run -> Run). Щелкаем по новой вкладке и наслаждаемся видом приложения:

Соответственно мы можем одним кликом переключиться во вкладку редактирования HTML, внести исправления, снова щелкнуть по предварительному просмотру и проверить работу (среда сама за нас сохранит изменения!).
