Menu
I've been using PyDev within Eclipse on my Mac for about two years now. Updated Eclipse today, and suddenly PyDev is completely missing. Tried everything, included a complete uninstall and fresh install, but although PyDev shows up as installed in the menu, it appears nowhere else.
PyDev version: 3.0.0.201311051910 Eclipse: Version: Kepler Service Release 1 Build id: 20130919-0819
I can't open a PyDev perspective, I can't create a new Python file, and I can't open an existing Python file without it just being seen as plain text.
I've got a huge assignment due tonight, help appreciated.

You can verify if it is correctly installed going to the menu 'window > preferences' and checking if there is a PyDev item under that.
Go to the menu: Alt + R + S + The number of the Run you wish (It can be Python, Jython, unit-test, etc). Note: if you were using unit-tests, you could use: Ctrl+F9 to run the unit-tests from the module (and even selecting which tests should be run -- and if Shift is pressed it's launched in debug mode).
To see what the problem is, I upgraded from PyDev 2.8.2 to 3.0.0 just for this. It caused me a world of hurt. That version is filled with bugs. Nothing is working for me, including the perspectives or the debugger. I just went back to 2.8.2 and all is well again. I am also on Kepler and Mac. Go to 2.8.2. YOu can uninstall pydev using eclipse, then simply install pydev using the easy zip file instructions here: http://pydev.org/manual_101_install.html.
3.0.0 was just released yesterday. They obviously have some fixing to do!

If you can't / will not upgrade to Java 7:
Uninstall latest PyDev version
1. Help >> About Eclipse
2. Press button "Installation Details"
3. Select "PyDev for Eclipse"
4. Press button "Uninstall..."
5. Close, OK
Install version 2.8.2
1. Help >> Install New Software...
2. select in drop-down list "Work with:" PyDev Update Site - http://pydev.org/updates/
3. De-select option "Show only the latest versions of available software"
4. Select "PyDev for Eclipse, version 2.8.2"
5. Press button "Next>"
6. ...
n. Restart Eclipse (as proposed)

Check if you are using Java 7, it is needed now for PyDev 3. Source: http://pydev.org/download.html and PyDev bugtracker. After upgrading my java-version it worked for me again.

The following solved the problem for me, on OS X Mavericks 10.9.2 initially with Java 1.7.0_55 (from Oracle, the standard Mavericks install I think, fully up to date)
/usr/libexec/java_home -V
I initially only had Java 1.6 listed here (a similar check from within Eclipse also confirmed that it was running 1.6, not the available 1.7 !)
following posts suggesting that I had the Java 7 JRE but not the JDK, I installed the JDK from Oracle : http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk7-downloads-1880260.html
then checked again /usr/libexec/java_home -V ... and hurrah! 1.7 showing up !
Restarted Eclipse... didn't change anything else : the previously installed PyDev started to work (just had to re-open files in the editor)

It seems a lot of PyDev/Eclipse issues are a matter of using the correct Java JRE/JDK and PyDev for the version of Eclipse you're running.
From http://www.pydev.org/
Release 5.2.0
Important PyDev now requires Java 8 and Eclipse 4.5 onwards.
PyDev 4.5.5 is the last release supporting Java 7 and Eclipse 3.8. See: update sites page (http://www.pydev.org/update_sites/index.html) for the update site of older versions of PyDev.
