Pydev, shortcut for inserting if __name__ == '__main__' in code

Is there shortcut or quicker way in Pydev to insert if __name__ == '__main__' ?

Solution

  • PyDev is based on Eclipse platform and all Eclipse tricks work there.

    You can create your own shortcut templates for autocompletion.

    E.g. if you type main[ctrl+space] it completes to if __name__ == "__main__".
