How to add ABAQUS python libraries to Eclypse and pydev

[milankarsten]

Hello appreciated colleauges.

I am using the Eclipse/Pydev envrionment for ABAQUS scripting for quite a while now. The only disadvantage seems to be, that there is no code completion provided for the abaqus modules and everything will get marked as a mistake. I already tried to add the libraries in C:\SIMULIA\Abaqus\6.10-1\Python\Lib to the PYTHONPATH and/or window-preferences-pydev-Interpreter-Python at eclipse, but without any success.

The main problem seems to be, that abaqus libraries are provided in .pyc files (precompiled python files) and eclipse cannot cope with that.

Therefore my question:
Is anyone into abaqus scripting and succeeded with using the code completion within eclipse? Does anyone know an way how to teach eclipse how to cope with .pyc files? Or does someone know how to change the libraries in a suitable form?

I am currently using ABAQUS6.10-1 and python2.6.

Thank you for every hint.

Best regards,

Milan Karsten

Sorry I don't have an answer but I would love to be able to do this too.

I also tried in the past to get this functionality but got nowhere due to the precompiled pyc files.
