Programando Python con Eclipse

He instalado PyDev (http://pydev.sourceforge.net/) en Eclipse 3.3 para desarrollar una aplicación web (basada en CherryPy) sobre Ubuntu 7.04, y funciona de maravillas! Autocompletar (code completion) es de muchísima ayuda, y puede utilizarse con Python o Jython (yo lo estoy usando con Python). Al instalarlo detecta todas las librerías instaladas, y es muy fácil agregarle otras nuevas (por ejemplo, CherryPy y Kid, para la aplicación web).
