Ok, the release is out, and it seems everything is well ;-)
One source of complaints was that some had updated pydev and not pydev extensions, and this was not working well... so, I've taken a look and the problem is that when I specified the pydev extensions plugin, I asked for a 'greateOrEqual' match on the version, when a 'perfect' match is what's needed (otherwise, you could get a bunch of error with accesses to invalid methods, attributes, etc)
So, this is fixed for the next release... but until there, those that use both have to remind to update both.
Now, planning for the other release...
One of the nicest things added in the extensions is probably the rename refactoring (which is out, but still in beta), so, I'll probably try to improve the rename refactoring to include matches on strings and comments, and an option to match 'imprecise matches', so that the user can review other potential matches that the pydev analysis ended up discarding.
On the pydev side, I really wanted to go more for the package explorer... it has one issue that I think is critical (commented on: a previous post), and the way to go is probably recreating all the resource-based actions myself... as this can be tricky, I'm not sure it'll be available for the next release...

Long time...
Yeap, it's been quite some time since my last post, but I've been busy ;-)
Right now, the aim is getting things ready for the pydev 1.2.6 release (which hopefully will happen this week)...
Pydev already had many fixes, in the package explorer, templates, changes from Thread to the Job API, etc, etc.
And in pydev extensions, the next version will implement the refactoring for rename... Still the first release, so, it should still be regarded as beta, but it already features a preview for the refactorings, undo/redo (both courtesy of the Eclipse framework), and should work for most rename refactoring cases, such as classes, methods, attributes, parameters, modules (although you have to make this refactoring through some import, because it is still not integrated in the package explorer)...
As it is beta, please take some time and review the changes it will do... and report if you think it forgot to rename something or renamed more than it should -- but have in mind that you're refactoring python, and as it is very dynamic, some analysis might not even be possible (but should probably be ok for 90% of the cases).
And another nice thing is that there is a really cool project called PEPTIC that will add other refactorings to pydev, and should shortly replace BRM as the default refactoring engine in pydev (that will probably happen around march)...
