So far all of my attempts to install PyDev on Eclipse have failed. I cannot find any meaningful error log or messages to provide any clues to the failure. I am not an expert in the Eclipse plugin system, so please bear with me. Setup: Windows 7 64-bit Eclipse 3.5.2 Other plugins: Adobe Flash Builder 4.0.0, Subclipse 1.6.10. CDT 6.0.2 Here\'s a rough outline of my steps: [ol] [li]Make sure any previous version of PyDev is uninstalled.[/li] [li]Add PyDev\'s update site http://pydev.org/updates[/li] [li]Select PyDev for Eclipse. Next. Finish. (BTW, version is 1.5.7.2010050621)[/li] [li]Install proceeds. Security warning about unsigned content. OK.[/li] [li]Restart eclipse.[/li] [li]No PyDev tab in Preferences. PyDev does show up in the list of Installed Software but it has no entries in the Features or Plug-ins tab of Eclipse Installation Details.[/li] I\'ve also tried installing via the zip file org.python.pydev.feature-1.5.7.2010050621.zip and pointing to the zip for for a local archive. Also I\'ve tried unzipping org.python.pydev.feature-1.5.7.2010050621.zip to D:/eclipse/dropins (so that dropins has a features and plugins directory) but this also has not worked. There is nothing interesting in the log file. The configuration panel (the text pane in Eclipse Installation Details -> Configuration) has references to pydev but again, nothing that looks obviously wrong to me. Are there tests I can run to figure out why PyDev is not getting instantiated? Any help to get PyDev up and running would be greatly appreciated. thanks, Dennis BTW, I don\'t know that it is relevant, but it strikes me as strange that my Eclipse root folder is D:/eclipse (where I unzipped it) but I have many eclipse files in C:/Users/[username]/.eclipse/ There are files that appear in both locations. Is it possible that the plugin installation is going to one folder but Eclipse is looking in another at startup? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Pydev-users mailing list Pydev-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/pydev-users
