keeping python interpreter open [message #1841586]

When using the integrated python IDLE, after executing a program, the shell gets opened. You can then write and let it do operations, or access functions specified in the executed program.
PyDev does not have this. If the file ends, the possibility for input ends. Unless I didnt see an option to toggle, this doesnt work.
Does Anybody have an idea how to do this?

Pydev is not provided by Eclipse.org:

https://www.pydev.org/

You should Google to find the best place to ask your question...

It seems though as if eclipse also doesnt have that feature.
And since pydev is just a plugin, I am fairly certain, this feature would be something to integrate into eclipse.

The thing is I don't know what python IDLE is and I don't know what any of the things you describe are. You talk about "the shell" but I have no idea which shell? You talk about a file ending? What file? It all sounds very python specific and I know nothing about python. Perhaps someone else will, but I've never seen a python question answered on this forum, so you might be waiting for quite long...

IDLE seems to be an IDE coming with Windows versions of Python, from Python development organization.

As far as I understand, it has nothing to do with Eclipse PyDev.

Yep, you're right. Eclipse PyDev is something else.

And it's not "Eclipse PyDev", just "PyDev."
