Re: [Pydev-code] Getting started with PyDev scripting

Hi Don,


I have just installed your script and I guess I do not understand the

The use case is:
class Foo:
    def m1(self, a,b): <-- it will create self.a =3D a, self.b =3D b

Well, that's just untill I make the scripting environment recognize all
those tokens. You could actually create a jython project in your scripts an=
d
add all the eclipse jars to it, but I'd rather wait a little and have some
check where you could say 'ok, I want to recognize as valid imports all the
jars from Eclipse'.

I don't understand why we have to lie on the from lines, or is this

As I said, you could configure your project with all that, but it would tak=
e
to much work to be good for using, so, given some time, I'll make it
recognize that.

I don't think that True/False appeared in Python until 2.3 or 2.4 and

Actually... sort of... False and True are only 2.3 onwards, but I add 2
tokens: False=3D0 and True=3D1 to the globals (in the same way I add the cm=
d and
the editor tokens). That's mostly because I was tired of always having to
declare those in the top of a jython script, so, good thing I don't have to
do that anymore ;-)

Cheers,

Fabio
