How do I direct Eclipse to the Python interpreter on my Mac? I've looked in Library which contains the directory 'Python' then '2.3' and '2.5', however they contain nothing except 'Site-packages' - Which is weird considering I can go into the terminal and type python.I then installed the latest 2.6 version with package manager and still can't find it. PyDev is a plugin that enables Eclipse to be used as a Python IDE (supporting also Jython and IronPython). It uses advanced type inference techniques which allow it to provide things such as code completion and code analysis, besides providing a debugger, interactive console, refactoring, tokens browser, django integration, etc. PyCharm is a professional IDE Suite which is offered in two different versions.

In this tutorial, we will learn the steps involved in the installation of eclipse on MacOS.
Prerequisites
- MacOS
- Login as an administrator on terminal.
Installation
Installation of Eclipse on MacOS includes several steps described below.
1) Download the latest version
This step involves downloading the latest version I.e. eclipse oxygen (by the writing of this tutorial). To install eclipse on our MacOS, we must download the latest version of eclipse by visiting its official website or simply clicking the link http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/download.php?file=/technology/epp/downloads/release/oxygen/1a/eclipse-java-oxygen-1a-macosx-cocoa-x86_64.dmg . The downloaded file exists in disk image file(dmg) format which is to be mounted first to get started with the installations.
2) Mount the dmg file
The dmg file which is downloaded from the official website of eclipse needs to be mounted first to the volumes directory. Hdiutil command can be used with the mount option to mount the file into the volumes folder. The process is shown in the image.
3) Copy Eclipse.app into Applications
After mounting the file, Eclipse.app is created inside /Volumes/Eclipse. This is an application file which needs to be copied to the application directory. The file needs to be unmounted after its deployment into the application directory.
4) Unmount the file
Unmounting the file simply involves ejecting the installer. For this purpose, unmount option is used with hdiutil command.
Well, we have successfully installed Eclipse oxygen on our MacOS.
