Hello there PyDev'ers,
I've recently started using Eclipse with PyDev, and (with some help from the
Emacs+ plugin) it's working out pretty well. Still, there are lots of things
that I find myself missing or that don't seem to work right. I plan to write
these up for this list one at a time.
I'm happy to do the work of filing these as bug reports in the sourceforge
tracker, but since I'm fairly new to this, I'm not really sure which of these
are just "works as designed, get used to it", which ones are general Eclipse
issues, and which ones are PyDev specific. Hopefully this will be a good place
to set me straight.
For my first issue: why do I have to manually add 'source locations' to my
project? The algorithm for detecting them should go like this:
- Find every folder with a .py file in it.
- Does that folder have an __init__.py in it? If so, it's a package, not
a source location; look at its parent and perform the same test until you don't
see an __init__.py.
- Otherwise, it's a source location: add it.
Any project that breaks this rule (and there are some; for example, PyOpenSSL)
would also break code completion because PyDev wouldn't be able to properly
tell what packages are named.
I ask this because I frequently work on projects with lots of branches, each of
which has a dozen or so "source locations", and re-adding them all each time I
want to look at a different branch (not to mention coming up with a unique
project name, and in some cases adding multiple projects and adding links
between them).
Is there some typical way to automate this process for projects with similar
structure?
