kdev-python provides Python language support for the KDevelop integrated development environment. For more information, please look at the 1.4 and 1.5 release announcements, and especially make sure to watch this short demonstration video!
The 1.5.1 release fixes a few issues with 1.5.0. Especially, it
- fixes a crash bug which could happen when PEP8 checking was enabled
- fixes capitalization in the coding line completion
- displays the correct plugin version in the About dialog
This is a rather minor update and I recommend it to everyone running 1.5.
There’s one thing I forgot to announce in the 1.5 release: PEP8 checking support (which was actually a good thing, since it was rather crashy until now ;)).
 |
| PEP8 checking suppot in kdev-python 1.5.1 |
It will run the PEP8 style checker whenever an open file is modified and display all errors inline (if you have inline error display enabled) and in the Problems toolview.
By default it is disabled though, since it displays a lot of errors for people who don’t follow PEP8, so if you want to use it, go to Settings — Configure KDevelop — PEP8 style checking (the change will only apply to newly opened or modified files).
If there’s any issues, please make sure to let me know on the bug tracker.

Yes, go to Help -> Loaded Plugins and click the info icon next to "Python support", and verify that the version number matches the last announcement. Note that sometimes I forget updating the version number 🙂

The thing I'd be most grateful for would be contributions in the form of bug reports (or even patches?), and for you recommending the software to other people in case you like it 🙂

Hi, can I ask how to use this plugin?
My systems is opensuse 12.3. I have installed kdevelop and kdev-python.
I build a "simple python application" project, and edit a .py document.
But the python-plugin seems not to work and I can use only the basic function of the text editor.
What should I do?
Thank you.

Hi,
Verify that you have matching versions of kdevplatform and kdev-python (e.g. 1.4.x of both, or 1.5.x of both). Your package manager should do that for you, but you should still check.
If that's not it, you might need to run kbuildsycoca or reboot your system after you installed the plugin.
Also check if the plugin is listed in Help -> Loaded plugins.
If that doesn't work either, tell me and we can debug it further.

Hi,
After rebooting, it works perfectly!
Thank you for your response and such a great plugin.

I've tried installing a couple times on Fedora 19 (just installed) and I'm not having much luck. The install throws some warnings about "‘PyArg_ParseTuple’ is an unrecognized format function type [-Wformat=] PyAPI_FUNC(int)" That I did not see when I installed on Fedora 18. But everything does seem to finish successfully.
I've tried rebooting and kbuildsycoca but it still doesn't show up in the loaded plugins.
The environment is kdevplatform 1.5.1 kdevelop 4.5.1 KDE 4.10.4 and I'm installing from kdev-python=v1.5.1.tar.bz2
I followed the instructions in INSTALL – which worked for me fine before.
A quick question – if I want to start over – and remove all that I've just installed – is there an easy way to do that or would I need to look over the install, see what files were put in place and remove them?
thanks
I figured out the uninstall part – super easy.
Hi,
kdev-python is awesome, i just jan get pep8 to work.
I got this error:
The selected PEP8 syntax checker "/usr/bin/pep8" does not seem to work correctly.
I had to change the path to /usr/bin/pep8 but its still not working on OpenSuse 13.1
Hmm. Can you run /usr/bin/pep8 in console? What happens? What does /usr/bin/pep8 –version say?
Greetings,
Sven
Weird, it works in new project, anyway, needed to use path mentioned above.
Yeah that's okay, that's why it is configurable. 😉
