Running python from eclipse/pyeclipse

[G.A.]

I've installed Eclipse 3.0 and the latest pyeclipse. I can get the editor
run - at least I think so, because it seems to do reasonable syntax
highlighting. However, I can't get the Python console window to appear
(Unable to instantiate view: org.python.pyeclipse.views.ConsoleView), nor
can I get python to run to completion. The MSWindows Task Manager shows
that eclipse has successfully started python.exe (at least a process by
that name shows up), but eclipse just shows 0% progress.

Any suggestions, even if they're just on how to debug this?

Thanks,

Gary

I can't speak for pyeclipse, but the TruStudio plugin with Eclipse 2.1
works like a dream. You can get it from http://www.xored.com/download.php

All you need to do after installation is tell it where your python.exe
file is located and you should be off and running.

Does Eclipse give you an environment where you can debug python code?

Not yet (that I know of), but another project is going on here that looks
promising (see the guy's weblog):

http://pydev.sourceforge.net/

There is also a wiki page here - a little outdated...

I am learning Eclipse development myself (and Java 8~( ) and hope to be
able to contribute to one of these projects at some point.
