Installation and configuration process for Eclipse + Python

First, installation of Eclipse

The installation of Eclipse is easy. Eclipse is a Java-based application, so a Java Runtime Environment (JRE) is required. (I'm here to focus on installing under Windows)

Download address for JRE: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html

Access to the JRE download page you will find a lot of installation version, here I choose to install Jre-7u3-windows-i586.exe, double-click Install.

Download address for Eclipse: http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/

Eclipse 4.2 (Juno), released in June 2012. Recommended for the Java 6 jre/jdk for Eclipse 4.2.

After downloading, unzip the package directly to the directory you want to place, such as: F:\Eclipse, so you can use Eclipse.

Second, install Python

Python Download Address: http://www.python.org/getit/

The latest version is: Python 3.3.0

After entering the download address, download it according to your needs. Here i download is: python-3.3.0.msi, download after the installation can be directly click. My installation directory is: F:\files\python

And then configure the system environment: My Computer, properties, advanced environment variables, system variables

Set path and write your python's installation path to the PATH variable.

Third, install Pydev plug-in

Official address: http://pydev.org/index.html
Download Address: http://sourceforge.net/projects/pydev/files/

Pydev is a pre-installed Aptana Studio 3.

Aptana Studio 3 is required for the use of the Django Template editor.

Aptana Studio 3 If used in Pydev, it can not be installed separately or updated (Aptana Studio 3 must always be updated as a whole)

Select the menu directly in Eclipse: Help-install New updates-and, enter Http://download.aptana.com/studio3/plugin/install, download and install.

Two installation methods for installing the Pydev plug-in:

1, will download the PyDev decompression (currently the latest version PyDev 2.4.0.zip compressed package), PyDev after decompression generally contains plugins and feature folder, the PyDev after the extracted folder copy to eclipse after the extracted directory can be, When you are finished and then start Eclipse, you can see the installation of the Pydev component in the Eclipse menu help->about Eclipse sdk->installation Detail.

2. Select the menu directly in Eclipse: Help-install New updates-and, enter http://pydev.org/updates, download and install.
