Evaluating Pydev Extensions

You can download the plugin and evaluate it with full functionalities for 30 days without requiring a license. The only difference between the licensed and the unlicensed version is that you'll get a message first at 30 mins and then after each 2 hours saying that it is an unlicensed version (you have to license it to remove that message).
