I still don't know what issues are all talking about regarding pydev and web2py. I'm using it on archlinux and imports, autocomplete and functions are all working pretty well.
just go to: window > preferences > pydev > interpreter-python > libraries and add a [new folder] in "system pythonpath" pointing to the web2py/gluon folder of your web2py installation. please tell me if this (kind of obvious) thing works for you or I may be missing some more magic from web2py (?). I have autocomplete from DAL and even from HTML helpers atm regards
