Pydev is an open source Eclipse plugin from Aptana for Python and Jython development -- a first class Python IDE for Eclipse. It comes with many goodies such as code completion, syntax highlighting, syntax analysis, refactoring, and debugging. There is also a commercial version of Pydev called Pydev Extensions with many more features.

Is Pydev an integrated part of Aptana Studio?
The August 2008 addition of Pydev to the Aptana product suite represents Aptana's first support for the Python language. At this time you can plug Pydev into Aptana Studio (follow these instructions) and use them "side by side" to get the combined benefits of both products. Of course you can plug both Aptana Studio and Pydev into Eclipse and use them side by side there as well. In the coming months we'll be working towards tighter integration to make developing and deploying Ajax applications with Python back-ends even easier.

Learn more about or download Pydev at the Pydev site at sourceforge.net.

What People Are Saying

"This has been a great year for the Python developer community with the advent of great frameworks such as Django and deployment solutions such as Google App Engine. Now the tooling is getting better all the time. One of the great tools is Pydev, especially if you are Eclipse-minded. Having Aptana take on Pydev only means progress for that project and Python developers." -- Dion Almaer, Open Web Advocate for Google

"Pretty much anyone these days who is creating Web sites and applications is using Ajax. Offering Pydev as an extension to Aptana Studio, and therefore Eclipse, will make it even easier and faster for Pydev users to create, test, deploy and manage their Web applications." -- Fabio Zadrozny, creator of Pydev (who leads the Python team for Aptana)
