As for documentation, I think you probably found:
http://pydev.org/developers.html (which gives details on getting the code
and tips on running it locally).

Well, I'm not sure what exactly you'd be verifying here, but as a reference
you can probably use the visitor pattern to visit the files -- you should
probably create a subclass of org.python.pydev.builder.PyDevBuilderVisitor
(you can go to that class and press F4 in JDT to see those).

Well, you probably need to give more details on what's the visualization
here in order to help you better...

There was a patch for a profiler once (
http://sourceforge.net/p/pydev/bugs/635/) but it didn't get integrated
(needs some work). It may be something you can take a look at... (the patch
is at that link).

That'd be nice (but I'm not sure exactly what'd be needed, so, not sure I
can help you well there).

Actually, that already exists: in the debug view, you can choose run > set
next statement (Ctrl+Alt+R) -- mainly, you can select what should be the
next statement -- python has some limitations on that (such as not being
able to jump anywhere -- it must be a place in the current frame -- and in
the same stack -- i.e.: you can't go from an except: block back into the
code that generated the exception as that'd be a different block for
python), but aside from those, it works pretty well.

Hope that's enough to get you started.

If you need more help, just ask in the list :)

Cheers,

Fabio
