Having trouble installing PyDev from within Eclipse?

Sometimes the pydev.org/updates site is down or not working. It's pretty easy to install PyDev manually, you may download it here: .

• PyDev-4.2.0.zip

To install PyDev manually, simply unzip the file and copy the entire contents into your eclipse/dropins folder. You'll find the dropins folder inside of the eclipse folder. To find your eclipse folder on a Mac, look in Applications, or on Windows look in Program Files or Program Files (x86).

You will need to re-start Eclipse after installing PyDev.

Eclipse and PyDev have been updated

Soon after recording this course, the Eclipse project released a major update and the PyDev project was updated as well. The installation procedure for PyDev has subtly changed. Please see my updated installation intructions for installing the latest version of PyDev with Eclipse:
