PyDev 8.1.0 is now available for download.
As a note, I didn't really create a post on 8.0.1, so, I'm covering some of the features in that version in this blog post too! 😊
Some nice things added:
- Python 3.9 is officially supported in PyDev -- definitely a must if you plan on using Python 3.9!
- There are quick-fixes (Ctrl+1) to convert a string into an f-string (see image below):
Note that even if there's no formatting in the string, with this it's possible to write some string as: "Value is {value}" and then use the quick fix just to add the "f" to the front of the string (which is quite handy if you weren't initially planning to create it as an f-string).
- When starting the interactive console, it's now possible to save how the interactive console should be initialized (see image below):
Note that it's also possible to change those settings in the interactive console preferences if you want to change them after the initial selection (hint: after the interactive console is created it's possible to use F2 to send a line from the editor for execution to the interactive console for notebook-like evaluation).
Besides this there are many other improvements, such as improved conda activation, rerunning pytest parametrized tests from the PyUnit view, MyPy integration improvements, support for from __future__ import annotations in code analysis and debugger improvements, among many others.. see: https://pydev.org for more details.
Enjoy!
