[Pydev-code] Programmatically configure PyDev project

[Florian S. <flo...@gm...>]

Hi all,

I am trying to programmatically create a Python project and add some
source code to it, but I don't know how to configure the project. When
it comes to Java projects, here's more or less what one would do:


IProject project = ....
IJavaProject jp = JavaCore.create(project);
List<IClasspathEntry> cpe = new ArrayList<IClasspathEntry>();
cpe.addAll( jp.getRawClasspath() );
cpe.add( JavaRuntime.getDefaultJREContainerEntry() );
jp.setRawClasspath( cpe );

//add files to jp


My question is how would I do something  like this for a Python project?
In other words, what variables should I set in the project's build path?
Is there something like JavaCore for PyDev?


Thanks in advance,
Florian

Hi,

Pydev only has one active interpreter (one for python and one for
jython), so, you only need to set the project type... aside from that,
you have to create/set the source folder(s).

So, after creating the IProject / IFolder(s) you want, just add the
PythonNature...

e.g.: To add a jython 2.1 nature to a project with a 'src' folder and
a 'junit.jar' file in the pythonpath (project name:
'pydev_unit_test_project'), you would do:

import org.python.pydev.plugin.nature.PythonNature;

...

PythonNature.addNature(project, monitor,
PythonNature.JYTHON_VERSION_2_1,
"/pydev_unit_test_project/src|/pydev_unit_test_project/junit.jar");

That's been taken from:
org.python.pydev.editor.codecompletion.revisited.javaintegration.AbstractJavaIntegrationTestWorkbench
(this test sets up the whole pydev-needed structure, configuring the
interpreter and projects, so, it's probably a good example on how to
configure things in pydev).

Cheers,
