To develope Zope3-application I use Eclipse with pydev and WickedShell (ctrl-shift-c means ctrl-c … I just don’t get debugzope running in interactive mode).
The python-enviroment for Eclipse has got to be the same as for Zope, otherwise you will not be able to use code-completion in it’s full glory.
Just took another look at bzr-eclipse … and I’m feeling lucky - it works. And Eclipse with PDT got a lot faster since 3.1 … sometimes live is beautiful (until you read about JavaScript-Flash-Webhacks, Earthquakes and Hurricans … but somehow live is still a bit beautiful).
The plugin is still (very) alpha, so use it just for toying around at the moment. Everything you need to know is here. For experiments the needed bzr-xmloutput plugin is best installed into the local bzr-plugin folder (”~/.bazaar/plugins”).
Installation of the plugin itself is best done via the update site mentioned at the project HP.
Publishing branches via ssh (or anything else which requires authentication) currently requires preshared keys for there is no username/password-dialog yet.
If anyone out there is willing to get his hands dirty, either by hacking bzr-xmloutput or anything else related to this (hopefully soon) very useful project, I’ll give him a hug.
