PyDev (currently 2.2.1.2011073123, from the Aptana Studio 3.0.4 Plugin; but 
I can see that 2.2.2 has been released).

Your Eclipse version is apparently a bit old (note the build/sign date of 
the requested CVS package).  Although PyDev is documented to work with 
Eclipse 3.2 to 3.7, try a newer version (but make a backup of your workspace 
before).  Indigo (3.7) was released on 2011-06-22 CE.  The corresponding CVS 
package version is (perhaps with updates) 3.3.400.I20110510-0800.

If you use PyDev from Aptana, you have to uninstall standalone PyDev first.  

I can still recommend using Aptana for Eclipse 3.7 on GNU/Linux, where it is 
running without problems so far.  However, in Eclipse 3.7 on Windows 7, 
after the latest Aptana update (3.0.4), PDT collided in their Content-Type 
settings with Aptana PHP Editor, so I had to uninstall the Aptana plugin in 
order to get any PHP editor working again.
