What is the most lightweight eclipse install for PyDev project?


I'd like to use eclipse and PyDev as my Python development environment. I have downloaded the eclipse installer (2019-03 version), however this presents options for "Java Developers", "C/C++ Developers", "PHP Developers", etc., with no option for Python developers.

I'm thinking each of the available options may include large amounts of functionality I don't need, leading to a bloated install. So, which is the most stripped-back minimum install that I can install the PyDev plugin over?


Solution

  • The installer offers IDE packages built from software from Eclipse projects, but PyDev is not an Eclipse project.
