Hi,
How do I update the PyDev version in LiClipse to use the latest commit from github? I'd like to be able to play around with the new python 3.6 syntax.

Thanks,
Richard.

Hi Richard,

This is actually unsupported (because LiClipse itself may break because of inner dependencies to PyDev, the PyDev version is fixed)... 

Now, having said that, you can generate a new PyDev build locally following the instructions from http://www.pydev.org/developers.html with the same version that is used in LiClipse -- which still hasn't been updated in git, so, you probably are good to go without any additional version renumbering -- and then install that version on your running LiClipse as you'd install any regular plugin (through help > install new software > point to the location in the filesystem where you created that build) -- note that I haven't actually tested it, but in theory it should work (and I don't think there has been any great breakage in the APIs from the latest release to the latest commit, so, it should be something reasonably safe at this point).

Or you may wait a bit -- my plan is releasing it next week ;)

Best Regards,

Fabio

Hi Fabio,
Thanks for the reply. I can wait until next week if that's when you're planning to release.

Thanks,
Richard.
