Hi Jacob, I have no practical experience with this, but try PyDev for Eclipse.

I can sort of tell it to do things like create a project, but I would then sort of expect things like solution explorers, etc., but don't seem to find anything of any real interest here...? I am also now planning to look at the following comparison between VS and eclipse interface, but they do, unfortunately mention diagrams, etc., so it's obviously targeting sighted guys: http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/opensource/library/os-eclipse-visualstudio/?ca=dgr-btw01Eclipse-VS#ibm-content Aside from that, EdSharp works perfectly well enough/fine for me with regard to editing python source, so might need to try figure out if can in fact implement these specific plugins without using eclipse - don't see why it shouldn't be possible since think the actual eclipse IDE plugins are more related to automatic code generation/wizards, etc., but will have to double check on that one. Anyway, just wondering if anyone else has done much with things like eclipse and python combinations, or if, aside from intro material along with scripts, are there any other types of material related to getting used to the jumbled up interface that eclipse seems to make use of..?
