Pydev, eclipse and pythonpath problem.

Question

Hi there.

I've installed pydev to my eclipse 3.5.2. Everything was working smoothly, create projects, execute, test, autocomplete.

But then I realized that importing modules from /usr/lib/pymodules/python2.6, such as django, causes error "Unresolved import: xxxx". Of course, PYTHONPATH SYSTEM includes the directories I want. What's more, inside package explorer i can c the modules under "System Libs".

I just can't import them :S. Is this a bug? Or I just missing something.

Thanks.

If you're using virtualenv you should setup an interpreter using the python build inside.

ie., default python interpreter for th project will be /usr/bin/python

but change it to something like "{project name} python" and point it to your virtual env path. In my case it's ~/.virtualenvs/acme/bin/python
