Eclipse

Back in 2011, I wrote a blog post on using Eclipse for Python Development.

I've never updated that post, and it's probably terribly outdated by now. But there's a good reason for that - I haven't used Eclipse in years. Not long after that post, I came across PyCharm, and I haven't really looked back.

Eclipse with the PyDev module has a lot to offer the Python programmer these days. If you haven't looked at PyDev before, or not in a while, it's worth checking out.

I finally got around to updating my Eclipse, PyDev, and Subclipse environment today, which I use for Django development.

Formerly I was using the SvnKit (pure-Java) libraries. SvnKit "felt" slow to me, compared to my command line SVN client, so this time I tried to get the JavaHL (JNI) libraries working.
