Python Course – Part I – (Video) “Setting Up Eclipse”

Part I: Setting Up Eclipse to Program in Python

Wikipedia: "Python is an interpreted programming language whose philosophy emphasizes a very clean syntax that favors readable code. It is a multiparadigm programming language, since it supports object orientation, imperative programming and, to a lesser extent, functional programming. It is an interpreted language, uses dynamic typing, is strongly typed and cross-platform. It is managed by the Python Software Foundation. It has an open source license, called the Python Software Foundation License, which is compatible with the GNU General Public License from version 2.1.1 onward, and incompatible in certain earlier versions."

As mentioned in the video tutorial, the website where you can get the download link for the plugins is the following: Download (PyDev)

The download URL you get from that page is the following: PyDev update site aggregator (PyDev) which is the link you need to copy into the software sites section of Eclipse.

Finally, the website to download the "Aptana Studio" IDE (version 3) is the following: Aptana Studio 3. There you will find all the information about that development environment.

Below is the video on how to set up Eclipse, plus a simple script to see it in action:

The code used in the video tutorial is the following:

print "hola mundo"

def imprimir (n):
    print n

s = "Hola desde una funcion"
imprimir(s)
