Setting up PYTHONPATH in Eclipse project

by Mikko Ohtamaa — last modified Feb 04, 2009 03:08 AM
PyDev uses PYTHONPATH to find Python source files in autocompletion and debugging. You need to set up paths correctly to get everything out from the IDE.

PYTHONPATHs are project specific in Eclipse and they affect code completion and launching.

* Right click the your development project -> *Properties*

* Go to section PyDev - PYTHONPATH.

* Add your development project root folder or any other folder containing Python files to *Project Source Folders*

* Add Plone instance files to *External Source Folders*::

yourworkspace/ploneinstanceproject/parts/omelette
yourworkspace/ploneinstanceproject/parts/zope2/lib/python
