PyDev not appearing in Eclipse after install

Question

I have Java version 7 and had installed PyDev version 3.9 from Eclipse Marketplace..but it's not showing up in New project or in Windows perspective in Eclipse..Can some one please tell me what i need to do ???

Answer 1

PyDev is not meant to be installed through Eclipse's Marketplace. Follow the instructions at http://pydev.org/manual_101_install.html. Specifically this part

Installing with the update site

Note: Instructions are targeted at Eclipse 3.5 onwards

To install PyDev and PyDev Extensions using the Eclipse Update Manager, you need to use the Help > Install New Software... menu (note that in older versions, this would be the 'Find and Install' menu).

So basically you have to install it using the "Install New Software" menu. It's explained in detail in pydev's own installation manual.
