Hi Fabio,

I'm wondering if you've taken a look at the Eclipse Dynamic Languages
Toolkit Project?

Is there a possibility for convergence between PyDev and DLTK?

Yes, I've taken a look at it... and yes, there's a possibility, but might be difficult, as their primary target is making a framework for multiple dynamic languages, mostly giving a head start for future implementors of dynamic languages, whereas pydev focus is only in python... so, they are building a base for new plugins, and as far as I know, pydev already has a pretty solid base.

The way I see it, pydev could probably absorb some future enhancements of dltk on places it may be lacking (as they're doing it thinking about others reusing it), but the other way around may be difficult, because pydev is much more specialized around python than on delivering a platform for multiple dynamic languages.

Still, it may be a little early to talk about it -- I'm waiting until their codebase evolves a little more to get a better feeling on what will actually be possible or not in this scenario.

Cheers,

Fabio
