PyDev 3.1.0 released

Hi All,

PyDev 3.1.0 has been released

Details on PyDev: http://pydev.org

Details on its development: http://pydev.blogspot.com

LiClipse (PyDev standalone with goodies such as support for Django Templates, Mako Templates, Html, Javascript, etc): http://brainwy.github.io/liclipse/

Release Highlights:

• Important: PyDev requires Eclipse 3.8 or 4.3 onwards and Java 7! For older versions, keep using PyDev 2.x.

• Refactoring:

  • It's now possible to rename a module (using F2 or drag and drop in the pydev package explorer).

  • Multiple improvements on the rename refactoring.

• Debugger:

  • Automatic code reloading on the debugger (based on xreload).

    • When a file is changed and a debug session is on, PyDev will automatically reload it (based on xreload).

    • View https://github.com/fabioz/Pydev/blob/development/plugins/org.python.pydev/pysrc/pydevd_reload.py for caveats/limitations.

  • Get referrers on debug

    • Right-click expression or variable in debugger and select 'Get Referrers'

    • Note: may not work on some Python variants as it needs access to the gc module.

  • Stackless python is now supported in the debugger, showing all the suspended tasklets in the stack view.

  • Automatically force focus to Eclipse on breakpoint hit (Enable in prefereces > pydev > debug).

  • The remote debugger can be left 'always on' (Enable in prefereces > pydev > debug).

  • If there's an exception while evaluating a conditional breakpoint the thread is suspended and the issue reported.

  • Option to skip caught exceptions thrown and handled in the same context.

  • A comment with @IgnoreException can be added to lines where an exception is thrown to have that exception ignored by the debugger when caught exceptions support is turned on.

  • Improved visualization of frame objects.

  • Bug-fixes on Jython debugging.

• Unittest:

  • Django: The default PyDev unittest runner can now run Django tests properly

  • Selecting a unit-test method in the editor and right-click > run as unit-test will run only the selected unit-test.

  • Ctrl+F9 with test selected will pre-select only that test to run in unit-test.

• General:

  • Improvements on search for references (Ctrl+Shift+G).

  • Fixed some racing conditions related to the plugin startup.

  • Organize imports has option to add from imports before other imports.

  • Improved connection to shell that does code-completion.

  • Properly supporting creation of shell inside a Jython VM in Eclipse.

What is PyDev?

PyDev is a plugin that enables users to use Eclipse for Python, Jython and IronPython development -- making Eclipse a first class Python IDE -- It comes with many goodies such as code completion, syntax highlighting, syntax analysis, refactor, debug and many others.

Cheers,
