PyDev

This are the features I would like to have... (One can wish right?)

The roadmap is still not traced... but if you want to come along and do any of those (or others), feel free... (features already implemented are not here again).

  • Make a nicer code completion - not executing code and with a better cache system (first step is already done, now we have builders... next thing is figuring out some really nice cache system, and using the python nature for getting paths)
  • Make the content assistant better
  • Quick outline (like java does)
  • Package explorer
  • Interactive shell
  • Wizards (create class / module)


  • You'd like to give it a try?

    You can download the latest source from sourceforge.

    To compile, you need to set the following preferences:

    'Plug-In Development: Java Build Path Control: Use classpath containers' to true

    'Plug-In Development: Target Platform' select "this application" and enable all plugins.

    Most of the code is well-documented in javadoc. I try to cc every answer to a codingquestion to pydev-code, so you can look there for hints too. That's it. If you have not developed Eclipse plugins before, I recommend reading the online documentation and trying out a sample plugin. Doing some prep work before jumping in will really pay off.

    Then, it is all up to you.
