Eclipse and Python

[ChrisH]

Is anyone using Eclipse with python?

I did a google search and discovered this was brought up about a year
ago, but I'm wondering if there have been any significant improvements
with the python plugins and if anyone is using them.

I am currently PyDev with eclipse. It works, more or less. At the very
least, it does as much as pretty every other Python Editor I have seen,
plus it is famillair to me since I spend most of my time in eclipse.

It does not however provide those niceties made easy by Java's static
typing. I.e. refactorin, ctrl-click to go to definition, etc ...

It is supposed to include a debugger, but I havent had the chance to try
it out yet.
