Notes:
  • Pylint*:Pylint is provided by logilab, and does code-analysis in python programs. In the Pydev 'Open-source version' it is called when a file is saved. It is written in python itself and called as an external program.
  • Pydev Extensions (1):Pydev extensions provides code analysis in its own structure, thus making it much faster. This code analysis can be done in 'real-time' while you type, and provides input for other features provided by Pydev Extensions such as an import 'quick-fix' for undefined tokens.
  • BRM*: Bicycle Repair Man is an open-source program that provides 'go-to-definition' and refactoring. Its 'go-to-definition' only works for Python, and only works 'well' for global or local tokens (does not work very well on methods from parameters or on 'self'). It is currently 'unsupported'.
  • Pydev Extensions (2):Pydev extensions provides a 'go-to-definition' that works for python and jython, and *should* work even on methods from parameters and 'self'.

Many other features provided by Eclipse itself are not added to the list, but are available either in the Eclipse platform or in other third-party plugins. Below is a 'quick-list' of 'reccommendations' that may be worth mentioning...
Plug-in features / reccomendations Plug-in
Text code-completion (also known as emacs-style completion) Eclipse itself (Alt+/)
Rectangular editing Lunar Eclipse
Open selected folder with explorer from within Eclipse Easy Explore
Open external file with drag-n-drop and scripting with Sunshade
cvs, subversion and many other 'repository systems' are available Search the net for what you want
