PyDev is a Windows IDE for developing new Python modules. There is a powerful code editor with syntax highlighting, autocompletion and error checking. Additionally, powerful refactoring and optimization instruments are included. The platform is based on the Eclipse framework.

Development

After starting the software you can create a new project and begin writing Python code. All syntax elements are highlighted automatically. The embedded debugger is intended for detecting and fixing potential errors. Moreover, it is possible to optimize the code to improve its overall efficiency.

Users can rename variables and methods. There are instruments for extracting code into functions and classes as well. These operations are executed with the help of a refactoring engine.

GUI designer

Tools for developing graphical interfaces are included. You are able to add buttons, labels, text boxes, menus and other elements to the layout. This is helpful for creating complex apps with multiple panels.

The PyDev console lets developers run code and view the results in the interpreter. Python REPL procedures are fully supported.
