Programming Python is so much fun in Eclipse using the PyDev Plugin. If you've never programmed in an IDE (Integrated Development Environment) then your going to be pleasantly surprised. Eclipse is a good and powerful IDE that is meant to be a Java IDE. But it can be extended with plugins to support several other languages. Eclipse requires the Java Runtime Environment in order to run. The following screen shot is an example of the sort of error you get when you try to run Eclipse without first installing the JDK.

More tutorials on the way. To show how PyDev works and how to use the debugger.
