Arcpy intellisence / code complete for Eclipse

KevinCressy — Sat, 26 Feb 2011 08:06:42 GMT

Hello all,

I have installed Eclipse, added PyDev and seem to have arcpy python scripts running fine within Eclipse.

My scripts are running correctly and I am getting context help when hovering over objects - however intellisence and code completion does not seem to be working.

Can anyone advise how this can be set up? If at all?

Regards,

Kevin

Window>Preferences>Pydev>Interpreter-Python, click New Folder and add
c:\Program File\ArcGIS\Desktop 10.0\bin
c:\Program File\ArcGIS\Desktop 10.0\arcpy
c:\Program File\ArcGIS\Desktop 10.0\Lib\site-packages\numpy

Thanks Chris,

I managed to add the first two folders but do not have the third:
c:\Program File\ArcGIS\Desktop 10.0\Lib\site-packages\numpy

is this required to get intellisence working?

Update - I had been looking in the wrong location for the numpy folder.

I have now added this to the preferences path but I am still not getting intellisence. I attach a screen dump of all of my references....does this look correct?

Looks fine to me. Try it and see.

Still no luck.

Is there anything other than referencing the file paths that I should do?

C:\Python26
C:\Python26\DLLs
C:\Python26\lib
C:\Python26\lib\lib-tk
C:\Python26\lib\site-packages

Beyond making sure that you have all the libraries in there I dont know what to tell you. When I added in the ArcGIS10.0 ones it worked.

I don't have a standalone version of Python 2.6 installed on my machine - are you saying I need both the version shipped with ArcGIS v10 and a separate install of python?

i.e. would I need to install version 2.6.6 here (2.6.5 is apparently an unstable version: http://www.python.org/download/releases/2.6.6/)

I hate to be the guy that chimes in with a "did you ever figure this out" post, but...

Did you ever figure this out?

I'm just starting to use Eclipse with PyDev, and cannot get code-completion to work for arcpy, even after having added the folders shown above in this thread.

Thanks,
Evan

When you typing , Try "Crtl+SPC" and the arcpy will come
