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

Hi!

I beg to withdraw my previous statement about thin documentation. The source is 
definitely  adequately documented for my tastes. And by the way... I can see 
from the source that there's a lot of work invested in this baby. Way to go, 
and keep up the good work!

Yes. On Ubuntulinux 5.10, eclipse 3.1.1 and pydev 1.0.4 I do have to import it. 
Under WinXP, eclipse <newest> and pydev 1.0.5 I didn't need to import it... 
Seems weird though. I must have imported it by mistake somewhere. I'll 
investigate some more and get bact to you if I can't track it down to some 
strangeness on my part.

Sorry. Don't know how to do that.

I pulled it down using command line cvs. If you're planning to put something 
about that in the developer manual maybe you're interested to know that the 
instructions at the CVS part of pydev@sourceforge didn't work for me.

http://sourceforge.net/cvs/?group_id=85796

The login failed with this error message:

$ cvs -d:pserver:ano...@cv...:/cvsroot/pydev login
Logging in to :pserver:ano...@cv...:2401/cvsroot/pydev
CVS password:
cvs login: warning: failed to open /home/bioinfo/yohell/.cvspass for reading: 
No such file or directory

However this did work:

$ cvs -d:pserver:ano...@cv...:/cvsroot/pydev checkout .

Cheers!
