Sure. So there will be various C++ components executing and each has an interface wrapped in Py++ bindings. For example, if I was in the Python console, I could do something like: obj.getFoo() and invoke that accessor on the C++ object. One of the things I need to be able to do is add graphical widgets like charts and gauges that use those C++ components as their data source. If the UI was written in Python, that would be relatively simple since the Python bindings would be directly accessible. What I'm not sure of is how I could get at the Python bindings from an RCP plugin that uses the SWT version of JChart, unless I could somehow issue commands to the PyDev interpreter from my plugin and get a response back.
In terms of other customization, I would probably need to: a) Startup a PyDev console from my plugin at startup using a Python script. The interpreter used by this console would then have access to all of the component bindings. b) In a project navigator, select a Python file for execution in the interpreter started in step a. c) In a project navigator, select a Python file that could execute in the started in step a using the PyDev debugger, so it could be single stepped. For steps b & c, I'd like to find a way to configure the run/debug configuration automatically from my plugin since I think the dialog will be overwhelming for some of my users.

Can you give more details on what you want to achieve here?
