[Pydev-users] Setting up Eclipse pydev on existing django projects

[Gary R. <gar...@ve...>]

Hi all;

My first post to this site. Hope I don't screw it up.

I am working on an archiving project for an organization. To facilitate 
the learning process, I have set up multiple virtual environments using 
pyvenv. I was using Ninja-ide but found it wanting (no development or 
bug fixing). I have switched over to Eclipse with the PyDev plugin.

System:
	Debian Stretch (9 ?)
	Kde desktop
	Python 3.4 (In venv)
	Django 1.8 (In venv)
	Eclipse Mars.1
	
One venv is being used for my project, another is used for the mysite 
tutorial and third was being used for Tango With Django. I quit the 
third because of problems using Django 1.7 and Python 2.7.

I have the original files in /root/MySiteHowto and /root/UUArchive. Both 
these projects work but I got bogged down because of IDE problems.
The project structures are standard layouts. If you need this info the 
easiest way is to look at the djangoproject.com documentation.

I wish to change the projects to /home/gary/workspace/(mysite and 
UUArchive) and put them under Eclipse project control.

I have tried several times to transpose the mysite project but with poor 
results. I get tangled up in the virtual environment and the project 
preferences.

I can't believe that I am the first person to encounter this problem. A 
cook book method would be really nice but all help will be appreciated.
