+--- Thread: Setting up a dev environment with Eclipse ad PyDev (/showthread.php?tid=346538)
Setting up a dev environment with Eclipse ad PyDev - ThumbOne - 2019-08-23
I'm a tad stuck following this: https://kodi.wiki/view/HOW-TO:Debug_Python_Scripts_with_Eclipse
It's way dated. I work fluidly with Eclipse and PyDev all the time, i.e. already have that dev environment in regular use.
Now I'd like to apply it to a little Kodi Addon work but that tutorial is a maze of deprecated tips.
2.3.5 Setting up Predefined Completions (optional)
Optional so I won't fuss with it too much for now. Still flagging that 'PyDev Predefined Completions Creator' Addon cannot for love or money be found. I found a copy here:
https://kodi-addons.club/addon/script.pypredefcom/
which even claims to be Kodi 18 compatible, bu no. I tweaked it to install at all (shifting its xmbc.python import from 2.0 to 2.14.0 that Kodi 18.3 seems to use) . But when run it bombs with an error saying to check logs. Which I'll dwell on later (as when i turn on the debug log it's flooded fast as I happen to me importing a mass of media at same time so I will wait for that to die down, point here being that this addon is a mystery, and if it does live somewhere, we'd love to find it and update that wiki!)
3.4 Add Pydev Python source code (pysrc) to XBMC
Now this is a little more important. And it concludes with a little note:
Quote:In new Eclipse versions on Linux, the standard eclipse installation (/usr/share/eclipse/plugins) does not contain the pydev files any more. The easiest solution is to install the pydevd-addon.
To access this from your addon, your addon.xml has to contain
<import addon="script.module.pydevd" version="3.4.1"/>
Which refers to this: https://kodi.wiki/view/Add-on:Pydevd
But again, this addon I cannot find, for love or money. Where is it?
I would love to get this rolling, but it seems I need the pydevd addon and don't know where to look for it or how it install it.
Regards,
Bernd.

Try asking in the developer add-on subforum. I suspect you will get better response there.
