#82 Handling files with 'python' content type

[Andrew Groom]

Hi,

Is it possible to have PyDev treat files that don't
have a .py extension as python code ? Would be very
handy for working on Zope scripts stored on the
filesystem which usually don't have an extension.

Cheers, Andrew.

Hi,

YOu can already do that... You can associate those
extensions in window > preferences > general > editors >
file associations.

Cheers,

Fabio

Thanks, Fabio, but I should have been clearer - these are
files with *no* extension, e.g., a Zope python script object
called "get_some_stuff" equating to a file of the same name.

Ok, I see what you're saying... I just don't know how to do
it either (that's more an eclipse than a Pydev thing)

Couldn't you get some extension there? (any extension would
do)... Otherwise, you can try to make a feature request for
the Eclipse guys at Eclipse.org, because currently, I
believe you cannot make a '*' association (which -- I think
-- is what you'd like).

Or maybe they know something I don't here...

Cheers,

Fabio

Thanks, Fabio. I agree - it's an eclipse issue, really. It
would be nice if you could attach a content type property to
the file somehow and have Eclipse use that to determine the
editor, instead of just inferring it from the extension.

I'll put in a feature request for it, as you suggest. PyDev
is very cool, btw :-)

Cheers, Andrew.

Hi Andrew,

Yeah, maybe a content type property could do it (just have
to research how to do that...)

I'm reopening the bug to see how (if) it can be done through
its 'content type'

Cheers,

Fabio

I have a some problem, use python for cgi scripting
and pydev dont support code completion for other files as *.py.

With eclipse can man select editor "window > preferences >
general > editors > file associations." for file expansion
and get so syntax color,

but code completion is a pydev kind, i hope its exist any
answer for this problem.

It's also impossbile to choose script w/o py extension in "Run Configurations".
its very annoying since I have to make simlinks for each script add them to vcs ignore.

[Fabio Zadrozny]

For files that have an extension, you must associate the extensions in PyDev > Editor > Code Style > File Types.

and also in window > preferences > general > editors > file associations

If the file doesn't have an extension, you have to right click it and open as PyDev and later you can run it pressing 'F9' (or Ctrl+F9 for unit-tests) -- with focus on the opened editor.

[Rion]

In most cases I need to pass arguments as well

[Fabio Zadrozny]

After doing the run, you can go to run > run configurations, select the run configuration that was created for the F9 and edit it as you want.
