Re: Python in RDi

The only plug-in problems I have experienced with RDi relate to the fact that the version of Eclipse it uses is often a bit behind the current level. That has meant that a couple of times plug-ins that I wanted to sue were not available for that version of Eclipse.

I haven’t tried the Python plug-in but I see no reason (other than eclipse currency) that it wouldn’t work.

There is an Eclipse plug-in called PyDev. The update site is
http://pydev.org/updates John, you can use this with vanilla Eclipse;
no need for RDi in particular :-)

I was confident that it would work from vanilla Eclipse. This is a
very common setup for Python programmers on mainstream platforms who
use Eclipse for other things (most notably Java). It was RDi in
particular I was worried about!

(Maybe I am hypersensitive, but I have grown a very, very strong habit
of assuming things that IBM touches are going to be slightly different
than and possibly subtly incompatible with the vanilla counterparts.)

Thanks for the report that RDi apparently doesn't clash with PyDev. At
least not for simple things.
