'Pydev Extensions' is a plugin that allows Python editing in Eclipse. It works with Eclipse and the Pydev "Open Source" version. See some of its features below

Release Changes

• Release 1.3.18

• Auto-import: Groups imports when possible.
• Auto-import: Doesn't bring imports for completions already in the document even if a parse is not successful.
• Organize Imports (ctrl+shift+O): Suggests imports to the undefined tokens in the editor.
• Import quick-fix: Icons correspondent to the element being imported.

• Release 1.3.17

• Bug-fix release.

• Release 1.3.16

• Code Analysis: __path__ Not correctly found on some situations.
• Local rename (ctrl+2+r): Positions correctly ordered for tabbing.

• Release 1.3.15

• Globals Browser: Was not correctly showing definition on a case with multiple projects when one did not have the python nature configured.
• Code Analysis: False positive: Classes defined within a class context are correctly found when later accessed in the parent context.
• Interactive console integration
• Context insensitive completions with auto-import in console
• Ctrl+Alt+Enter: can be used to:
• Create console if no console exists
• Send selected text to console
• Make execfile for current file if there's no selected text

• Release 1.3.14

• Local renames: scoping issues.
• Local renames: comments/strings only renamed in local scope for local variable.
• False positive: undefined variable: a base-class could be flagged as undefined if used in a method scope.
• Remote Debugger: easier way to specify path translations between a remote machine and a local machine (constant must be set in org.python.pydev.debug/pysrc/pydevd_file_utils.py -- see comments on module) .

• Release 1.3.13

• Debug Console: will print exceptions raised during the evaluation.
• Debug Console: will print the result of the evaluation if a valid statement is sent (so, 'print' is not needed for simple evaluations anymore).

• Open Definition Quick-outline (1.0.3)
• Debug console (1.0.2 -- allows interactive probing in suspended mode)
• Code completion with auto-import
• Code analysis (PyLint replacement, but much faster)
• Quick-Fix for problems found in code analysis
• Go to definition (Bycicle Repair Man replacement, but much more reliable)
• Debug server (allows debugging scripts not lauched from within Eclipse)

• Screencasts demonstrating pydev and pydev extensions may be found at ShowMeDo.com.

Evaluating Pydev Extensions

You can download the plugin and evaluate it with full functionalities for 30 days without requiring a license. The only difference between the licensed and the unlicensed version is that you'll get a message first at 30 mins and then after each 2 hours saying that it is an unlicensed version (you have to license it to remove that message).
