I know IDE's are sensitive topics and an a very personal issue, but from my experience Pydev is topnotch. It also provides excellent support when importing with a wildcard ( which is what we do all the time ;') Doing the namespaces differently is non trivial, and frankly I think the current situation is pretty good. Coding with PythonOCC requires hefty IDE support. For what its worth, Thomas & I are both Pydev adepts. -jelle > I'd much prefer: > > from OCC import BRep > blah = BRep.Builder(...) > etc. > > I think it should be possible to mod the SWIG_generator script to > include a %rename directive for each class, to achieve this. > > Obviously, this would break all existing code, but I think long-term > it > is worth it.
