I'm having a lot of trouble getting Eclipse to recognise PyDev when using the PyDev zip file. (I need to use the zip file as the Dev machine does not have internet access).
I have Eclipse installed and have downloaded the PyDev zip. I've Googled a fair bit and tried the following based on suggestions I found:-
Unzipped the .zip into ECLIPSE/helios/dropins and restarted eclipse.
Unzipped the .zip into ECLIPSE/helios/plugins and restarted eclipse.
Neither makes Python appear as a selection in the Eclipse, Window, Preferences.
Helios contains the executable eclipse file I use to load eclipse.
I'm using eclipse in Redhat linux.
One suggestion was to extract the zip over the eclipse plugins and features folders, but I don't see how that would work as the zip just produces a heap of files and no folders.
Any help to get this working would be great.
Just unzipping the Pydev zip file under C:\eclipse\dropins should be enough. So:
1) Unzip the zip file in C:\eclipse\dropins
2) Launch Eclipse
3) Test your installation: Go to Window -> Preferences -> PyDev
I just did this today and a far easier way to do it is to use the built-in installer. Go to Help -> Install New Software and then type pydev in the software filter. Since you already have the zip, if you extract it in the dropins folder, you'll skip the download portion and go straight to installing it.
I have been able to use the zip to install it manually before. I would extract its contents in the eclipse folder overwriting the features and plugins folder. I suggested this to a coworker earlier today and it didn't work for her. She had to download the newest version of eclipse for this method to work. She downloaded the classic version.
I've been playing with PyDev and Eclipse. Reinstalled Eclipse on a fresh machine and unzipped the standard PyDev over it (not the source version) and it worked fine. Did the same thing on the same machine having the problems but in a different location (/home) also worked fine. So it looks like a configuration problem on the machine not a PyDev/Eclipse issue. Sorry for the run around and thanks for the help. Dog.
For whatever it's worth, I was having the same problem running eclipse 3.6 on RHEL 6. When I ran eclipse as myself, I didn't get any PyDev options; however, when I ran eclipse as root, everything showed up. So permissions could be an issue fyi.
Open the eclipse and navigate in the below format of the menu bar of the eclispe
Window > Perspective > Open Perspective and select Pydev. As a result when next time you open eclipse you will be using it with python.Please follow the below screen shot in the link I am Using python 3.7 with eclipse photon ide.

I have just installed Pydev on my existing copy of Eclipse for Java, running on OSX 10.7. When I make a new pydev package, I click away from the default directory for my java files and into one for python files. Once it is created, the project shows in the pydev package explorer window. However, once I close the package, it disappears from the pydev explorer window, but shows in the java explorer window (under java perspective). I can run the python project from the java perspective, but I want to try and keep my projects separated (infuriating).
Also, if I want to create a new pydev package, I have to first delete a .project file from the python project directory before I can create a new package.
I've been looking around for an answer to this problem for a while, and most talk about changing different filter settings in the explorers, but the filter settings for both pydev and java seems to indicate what I want it to do (key word seems).
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I've wasted too much time on this triviality. Thanks.
I've downloaded Eclipse Indigo in preparation of using it to write apps in Python. There doesn’t seem to be an install file. When I double-clicked eclipse.exe the program just ran. Can I move the Eclipse directory anywhere I want it, create a shortcut and place it on my taskbar, and start writing programs?
I put the Eclipse directory in my Path statement, and tried to run it from the command line. It won’t run anywhere but in the Eclipse directory. I already have Python 3.2 installed and it does run anywhere from the command line. Will Eclipse automatically find my Python executable or do I have to do something else?
The instructions are pretty clear ... and pretty simple:
Install your JDK on Win7 (I'd choose the 64-bit JVM for 64-bit Windows, but 32-bit will work on 64-bit Windows equally well)
Unpack the "eclipse" folder from the .zip file anywhere you want. Mine happens to be in c:\eclipse.
Manually create a desktop and/or start menu link to eclipse/eclipse.exe
Here's a great reference on "PyDev":
http://www.vogella.com/articles/Python/article.html
I'd also encourage you to install the latest/greatest Eclipse ("Juno") instead of Indigo.
I have a windows machine which has no connection to the internet. It's also not possible to connect this machine to the internet due security reasons.
How can I install PyDev without internet connection?
From PyDev use SourceForge download and install manually via these instructions:
Installing with the zip file
The available locations for the zip files are:
Sourceforge download
After downloading the zip file:
Eclipse 3.4 onwards
Extract the contents of the zip file in the eclipse/dropins folder and restart Eclipse.
Before Eclipse 3.4
Extract the contents of the zip file on top of Eclipse, making sure the plugins folder is extracted on top of the
eclipse/plugins folder and the features is on top of the eclipse/features folder.
After that, restart Eclipse with the '-clean' flag, so that Eclipse finds out about it.
use http://www.liclipse.com. It has PyDev builtin and easy to install.
I'm trying to install PyDev in Eclipse 3.6 on Windows 7.
I have Python 2.7 successfully installed. I installed PyDev through Eclipse, and restarted.
When attempting to configure Eclipse to find my installed Python, (Window -> Preferences) the list that appears does not contain Python. (See image below.)
If I go back to Help -> Install New Software to check what has been installed, PyDev appears as having been installed.
I've tried quitting Eclipse and opening again, with no change. I tried uninstalling PyDev, and re-installing, with no effect. Any ideas how to get Eclipse to see PyDev?
There's an issue when installing plugins under Windows 7 with UAC (User Access Control) active. You need to run as administrator. Read my blog post for more details.
I had the same issue with interpreters not seen for pydev/python.
I followed the link1 below, I had to use the PyDev 3.2.0.zip file and install it with 7zip in the dropin folder, for my system it is:
"eclipse-SDK-3.5.2-win32-x86_64__classicversion\eclipse\dropins" folder. (if you just right click to unzip (not using 7zip) in the dropins folder, you get the 0x80010135 Path too long error).
Then I had to reboot my windows 7 64bit pc to see the pydev/python interpreters.
Then follow link2 and watch derek banas python online videos where he goes over the installs and tutorials.
link1: http://pydev.org/manual_101_install.html
then at the bottom of the page select
http://pydev.org/manual_101_interpreter.html
Note: I also had to use the unzip trick for other eclipse updates ...
I'm having difficulty getting PyDev to work.
I had an installation of Eclipse for PHP developers (1.2.1.20090918-0703). A month ago, I installed PyDev, and everything worked great. I go to fire it up this morning, and PyDev is gone. There is no option to create a Python project, the Python language editor is missing, etc.
Eclipse for PHP does not say that PyDev is installed, so I grab it from the update URL. The version that comes down is 1.5.6. I restart after the installation, and everything works fine again. Sweet.
Then, I grab Subclipse 1.0.7. Upon restarting after that installation, PyDev is now gone. It isn't recognizing Python projects or Python files, etc. So I uninstall Subclipse. PyDev is still gone. Uninstalling and reinstalling PyDev again doesn't bring it back.
What am I doing wrong? Do I need a different version of Eclipse?
UPDATE: I downloaded a fresh copy of Eclipse for Java, did all this over again, and had PyDev working fine. Then, when I downloaded JSEclipse, PyDev again disappeared. This is super frustrating.
UPDATE 2: Another fresh copy of Eclipse. This time I downloaded Subclipse first. It worked fine. Then I downloaded JSEclipse, and Subclipse is gone.
there's an easy way to install plugin for eclipse, download the pydev package zip file (not install it via eclipse update), extract it, and put it into your eclipse/dropins/pydev folder.
this is a hidden way to install plugin.
