PyDev 3.0 Released

[Fabio Zadrozny]

Hi All,

PyDev 3.0 has been released

Details on PyDev: http://pydev.org

Details on its development: http://pydev.blogspot.com

LiClipse (PyDev standalone with goodies such as support for Django Templates, Mako Templates, Html, Javascript, etc): http://brainwy.github.io/liclipse/

Release Highlights:

-------------------------------

* From now on, PyDev requires Eclipse 3.7 or 4.3 onwards and Java 7! For older versions, keep using PyDev 2.x.

 

* Interpreter is now kept up to date with changes to the interpreter, so, pip-installing packages will automatically update internal caches without requiring a manual step.

 

* Fixed issue connecting to shell for code-completion (which could halt the IDE).

 

* Interactive Console (patches by Jonah Graham)

 

    * IPython 1.0 is now supported.

    

    * Computational Crystallography Toolbox (CCTBX: http://cctbx.sourceforge.net/) can now be used with PyDev.

    

    * Debug support in interactive console (must be enabled in preferences).

    

    * User Module Deleter (UMD): forcefully reloads user-loaded modules when using runfile on interactive console (must be enabled in preferences).

    

    * GUI event loop integration: more backends are now supported and can be configured in the preferences.

    

    * %gui provides customization for the gui event loop integration (i.e.: %gui wx enables wxPython integration).

    

    * %edit on IPython will open the file in the PyDev editor.

    

    * History of commands is now saved to a persistent file.

    

    * Loading of history is faster.

    

* Interpreter configuration (patches by Andrew Ferrazzutti)

 

    * Interpreter configuration quick auto-config: automatically finds a Python installed and configures it.

    * Interpreter configuration advanced auto-config: searches for multiple Python installations in the computer and allows selecting one to configure.

    

    * Source folders (PYTHONPATH) are kept updated on renames and moves in the PyDev package explorer.

    

* Grammar 3.x accepts u'str'.

 

* Fixed project configuration ${PROJECT_DIR_NAME} variable to point to dir name inside Eclipse and not the folder name in filesystem (this could make PyDev miss folders in the project PYTHONPATH).

 

* Debugger:

 

    * Breakpoints working on files with unicode chars.

     

    * patches by Jonah Graham:

     

        * Variables can be pretty-printed with right-click > pretty print.

        

        * Improved handling for numpy.ndarrays.

    

* And as usual, many other bugfixes!

What is PyDev?

---------------------------

PyDev is a plugin that enables users to use Eclipse for Python, Jython and IronPython development -- making Eclipse a first class Python IDE -- It comes with many goodies such as code completion, syntax highlighting, syntax analysis, refactor, debug and many others.

Cheers,

I see the main difference between Liclipes and Eclipse+Pydev being lightweight and Loclipse preconfigured to a degree.

Moving forward what advantages would I get by buying Liclipes over Eclipse?

Hi,

What you get from LiClipse which you don't have on Eclipse+PyDev is:

- Lightweight support for other languages (i.e.: there's an editor which provides highlighting, outline and other goodies which supports multiple languages such as Django Templates, Mako, Javascript, Html, etc. -- and it should be easy to add other DSLs too).

- Improved themeing (it extends eclipse color theme to theme not only the editor, but other parts of the ide).

- Multi-edition (i.e.: Ctrl+K will create links for multi edition or alternatively you can Ctrl+Alt+mouse select to select multiple lines to edit at once)

- Things are pre-configured (i.e.: it provides a native installer which bundles a jre and other common plugins such as anyedit, startexplorer, egit...)

So, currently those are the advantages -- still, as you noted, PyDev is the same on both cases :)

Cheers,

Fabio
