i have recently asked a question
I rechecked and it seems that pydev does not detect django either, but i can import django in activepython interpreter. so if i installed django using pypm would pydev detect it?
PyDev currently doesn't pick additions to the PYTHONPATH automatically, so, you have to re-configure your interpreter within PyDev (even if only the PYTHONPATH changed).
See: http://pydev.org/manual_101_interpreter.html

Error: The selected wizard could not be started.
Plug-in org.python.pydev was unable to load class org.python.pydev.ui.wizards.project.PythonProjectWizard.
An error occurred while automatically activating bundle org.python.pydev (547).
This error occurs as a result of installing the wrong version of PyDev for the version of Eclipse that you're using (found a hint on SO here).
For example, I (Edit: used to) use Eclipse Luna (Service Release 2, v4.4.2). I tend to lose my plugins / settings every time I update Eclipse on a Mac, and I'm too lazy to look into why, so I've avoided updating. Which is how I ran into the problem you describe here.
The version of PyDev available in the Eclipse Marketplace is, as of this writing, 6.5.something. You'd think Eclipse would be smart enough not to allow incompatible plugins to be installed with the Marketplace installer, but nope.
Look here for an idea of which version of PyDev you need to work with your version of Eclipse (check the "About" box within Eclipse), then follow the instructions here to download the appropriate .zip from SourceForge, extract it, and move the extracted files into the dropins directory, preserving the hierarchy that existing inside the archive.
For Eclipse Luna (4.4), I found that PyDev 5.2.0 seems to work fine (so far).
Note that the location of the dropins folder may vary by operating system. Once upon a time, I bookmarked this reference (for Luna) from the Eclipse help, and it may be useful somehow.
This isn't my first time using Eclipse or installing PyDev but this is the first time it both succeeded and failed.
It succeeded because it installed, it shows up as being installed and installation went on fine without a problem.
It failed because nothing has shown up, there is no Python perspective, no PyDev views in the view list, no new projects under PyDev, no PyDev preferences. It is as if it is not actually installed at all.
The only thing I did differently is extract the latest eclipse to a folder called ~/eclipse and create a short cut to run it there (the latest Eclipse), usually I use apt-get to install eclipse, realise it's an old version (C++11 stuff missing) then upgrade and do this. Somehow PyDev is usually carried forward.
I'm not sure how it can list it as being installed but have this error, I'd appreciate any help you guys can offer.
I bet it's the problem of 3.x version of PyDev. It demands java 7.
2 solutions are possible:
Install java 7. re-run the Eclipse, Pydev should function well now. OR
Install last 2.x version of PyDev.
To do it
1) Remove PyDev : In Eclipse About window click Installation Details
button below. You will see controls for removing plug-ins.
2) Install 2.x version of PyDev:
Eclipse Help->Install New Software.
REMOVE CHECKBOX "Show only the latest version" located at the bottom of the dialog.
Choose Pydev update site from the list and in the appeared list of PyDev versions choose latest in 2.x branch.
The problem is really that sometimes even installing java 7, Eclipse does not get it.
In http://pydev.org/download.html, there's a section called: PyDev does not appear after install!
Try to follow it to see if it fixes your problem (i.e.: making Eclipse find java 7).
Another option would be using PyDev standalone (i.e.: LiClipse). Although it's commercial, it should come with all the requisites builtin (so, no hassles to install) and is updated whenever PyDev itself is updated.
Today I reinstalled my OS (Ubuntu 11.10) and installed Django and PyDev.
I ran one of my programs that import Django framework. It works, but PyDev doesn't detect my project, Django, Simple Django Captcha and most Python libraries.
What can I do to fix this problem?
Actually, I must say I configured my PYTHONPATH in PyDev, too.
New versions of PyDev should have Django integration. Try looking here.
Also, it might help defining those libraries as Forced Builtins. I had to use it to get PyQt auto-complete working.
I had the some problem when I upgraded my Ubuntu, it was fixed when i installed the aptana studio package fully.
It seems that Pydev (1.5.4) on Eclipse (3.5.1) with Python 2.6 isn't able to correctly cross-reference the package gobject. Putting import gobject works OK but any more than that (e.g. class X(gobject.GObject) causes Pydev to report "unresolved reference" errors.
What could be the problem?
Note that every other package I use doesn't trigger this error.
The issue is related to this limitation of PyDev:
I have a library installed and Pydev
does not find it
Well, problems have been reported on
Mac and Linux, and the main reason
seems to be symlinks. Pydev will only
find extensions that are 'really'
below the python install directory.
This happens because the 'less common
denominator', which in this case is
windows, does not have symlinks. A
workaround to this problem includes
manually adding the given folder
installation to the pythonpath or
changing the installation of the
package to be under the site-packages
folder.
To adjust for this limitation, find the absolute path to the library and update the libraries associated with the interpreter for Pydev.
I setup PyDev with this path for the python interpreter
/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/Python
since the one under /usr/bin were alias and Eclipse won't select it. I can run my python script now but cannot run the shell as an external tool. The message I get is
variable references empty selection ${resource_loc}
Same if I use {container_loc}
Any thoughts ?

I installed the Python.org version as well, this is a must.
I finally got PyDev working in Eclipse by pointing the interpreter to:
/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/bin/python
manually. If you don't do it manually (by using the Autoconfig) it seems to not find the right version.
Common practice seems to be to install an up-to-date Python 2.5 from python.org and use that instead of the system installation. I saw that recommended here and there when I got started on Mac OS X.
It installs under /Library (as opposed to /System/Library) so the system Python is intact. Pydev has /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/Resources/Python.app/Contents/MacOS/Python as its configured Python interpreter and all is well.
Can't state for sure that your trouble is due only to using the system's Python installation; in any case this way I have no trouble. Also, this way when you fiddle with your development environment (install things in site-packages, upgrade Python), anything that uses the system Python is sure to be unaffected.
I know this is a ancient post... but, in case of some newbee like me to get the better answer.
I just using "Eclipse Marketplace" from the "Help" menu and search for keyword "python" or "PyDev" to get PyDev, and get it successfully installed.
AND, you should add PyDev to the top-right dock.
For the instance, my eclipse on my laptop's OSX is (Version: Indigo Service Release 2 Build id: 20120216-1857).
Have fun, folks! :)
I believe ${resource_loc} or ${container_loc} (without any argument) are based on the current selection in your workbench when you are launching your script.
So are you selecting the right resource when selecting that script through the "external tool" runner ?
At least, click on the project name before you run one of the external programs.
Note: it works with a selection in the Navigator or Package Explorers views (the latest might not be available in PyDev environment though)
