Answer 1

Comments with #TODO will only generate tasks if:

1. The code is in a source folder (i.e.: in the PYTHONPATH)

2. You have the builders turned on (or run the build manually from time to time).

Reference: http://pydev.org/manual_adv_tasks.html

The getting started guide ( http://pydev.org/manual_101_root.html ) has instructions on how to config PyDev properly so that things like todo tasks work properly

Answer 2

Make sure you are writing:

#TODO: This is my todo.

Otherwise, it won't work. Note the colon after the 'O'.
