I still have one (quite general) question: When eclipse 'does' pydev, is it mostly in java or in python? Using python's native parser etc makes the analysis more reliable at the cost of more fragile, non-portable(?) etc plumbing between java and python. Whereas rewriting python's parsing etc in java, makes the basic architecture easier but will always keep you behind target when say python changes/adds to its syntax/feature set etc. Which do you choose? And are the new facilities in Juno easier for cross-language feature-sets? -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
