Both approaches work... If you choose to put them in the same project,
you have to add the folder that has the dlls created as a source to
your pythopath. If you create 2 projects, you still have to set the
C++ project as a pydev project and add the source folder to the
pythonpath, and you also have to add a reference to that project from
your pydev project. Personally, I think separating projects is better
(as it's easier to configure the C++ portion of things).

Don't forget that you have to do a ctrl+2+kill (with focus on the
pydev editor) before you recompile your libraries (this is needed
because the python shell spawned may lock those libraries and so that
the shell is restarted to get the new completions from those dlls).

Not right now.
