It would be nice if I could set any environment
variables for the Python interpreter. For example,
Chandler has its own Python interpreter, and some
special extensions that need to load DLLs from PATH -
but these DLLs only exist in the Chandler installation
which is not normally in user's path.

Without this feature, Pylint and anything requiring the
python interpter will fail when trying to use the
Chandler python as the extensions will fail to find the
DLLs to load.

There is a workaround to set the PATH manually before
launching Eclipse, but that is a pain (easy to forget,
and relaunching Eclipse takes a long time).

    Personaly, I think I'd create a script to set those
    variables and launch Eclipse afterwards (but I agree that if
    you have multiple interpreters that might not go so well...)

    It looks like this is possible now and this issue should be closed.
