"Personally, the pleasure I take in developping software is half linked to the language, half to the programming tools. With Pydev, I've got everything."

Franck Perez







"Pydev is a core tool in our development process, and is a major reason why Python has become viable for us as a production language. I look forward to each new release of Pydev as it is continually evolving into a more and more powerful development environment."

Eric Wittmann, Zoundry LLC.
