Django and Eclipse, console

Question

I'm using Django with Eclipse and I figured out you can start and stop the server through Eclipse and the output appears in the console. This is great except that there's a delay between when the event happens, and when the result appears. Usually, in order to get something to show up on the console I have to make a change to the code and save it (django then reloads it) or I have to restart the server. In the bottom right it says "Refresh on finish" so maybe that has something to do with it, but I can't figure out how to make it display the console output live as it's happening

Answer 1

On my system (Ubuntu 10.04, Python 2.6, Django 1.2.1, Eclipse 3.5, PyDev ), I see the same behavior that I see at work (Windows 7, Python 2.6, Django 1.2.1, Eclipse 3.6, PyDev):

When I start the Django runserver from within Eclipse, it's output goes to a console window, except for the first startup messages. Thus the first message will either be an access log entry, or an error trace. Once you update a class that is part of the Django project, you will get a server startup message, then any subsequent access/error log entries.

Django version 1.2.1, using settings 'foo.settings'
Development server is running at http://127.0.0.1:8080/
Quit the server with CONTROL-C.

The only delay that I perceive is while re-running a rather labor-intensive set of web-services, but even that is a massive improvement over the earlier versions.
