Eclipse import existing GAE python project.

EVN: Eclipse Indigo, Python 2.7,  mac

First, install the pydev plugin if you not yet have one. Search for update site in pydev's install page: http://pydev.org/manual_101_install.html

Second, create a empty pydev project, copy and place the .project & .pydevproject under your existing GAE python project. Don't forget to change the project name in .project file.

Go eclipse -> File -> import -> Existing Projects into workspace and open your project from the finder.

GAE with Python setup.

I'm using mac snow leopard, by default the python version is 2.6. I've installed 2.7, but every time I start up the app, it complains: "You are using a Python runtime (2.6) that is older than the production runtime environment (2.7)"  I update the path in the GAE's preference but still doesn't work. Finally find the answer here:  http://code.google.com/p/google-appengine-mac-launcher/issues/detail?id=4
After pressing the enter, it works~

WARNING  2011-08-02 23:53:51,995 dev_appserver.py:4749] Could not initialize images API; you are likely missing the Python "PIL" module. ImportError: No module named _imaging

This is another small issue for mac user: install PIL module...
Found one good solution:  just run macport:  sudo port install py27-pil
You can run sudo port -y install py26-pil for dry run.

Vim editor setup.

Found one good resource to help you setup your ./vim folder and vimrc file.

Also, here is the article to teach you how to setup your macvim along with ctags (for autocomplte) & python on MAC OS X (snow leopard.)
