Python & Eclipse

[Arkaitz Bitorika]

Hi,

I'm looking into implementing at least a Python editor for Eclipse, 
using probably Jython's parser. I haven't got code to share  yet, but 
I'm really interested as I want to learn both Eclipse and Python/Jython.
What kind of integration do you need, apart from syntax 
highlighting/Outline and running Python programs? The JDT (Java tooling) 
has some amazing capabilities (Java-aware search, refactoring, quickfix, 
etc.) that would be great to see available for Python.

cheers,
Arkaitz
