Here are instructions for installing PyDev into the Eclipse IDE. This a link to a detailed set of instructions that include the installation of the Eclipse IDE, followed by the installation of the PyDev plug-in. This is a 35 page document. The Chrome web browser will open it, eventually. Mozilla might have trouble opening it (my copy of Mozilla proclaimed the file was damaged, but it was not). Microsoft Internet Explorer will eventually open the PDF file. It takes time because the file is large.
PyDev was developed by a company called Aptana. They have an IDE called Aptana Studio 3 that comes with Python loaded in it. This is another version of the Eclipse IDE. It will work just like Eclipse, if you are familiar with it. You do not need to add the PyDev perspective in Aptana Studio 3. The Web perspective will run Python code just fine. You do need to setup the Python interpreter. Refer to the instructions for installing Pydev to see how that is done. See the section, Configuring the IDE, pages 14 to 18.
IDE's are helpful for debugging code. It is great that you can use Eclipse with Python.
