Eclipse is an open source platform-independent software framework for developing Integrated Development Environments (IDEs). Eclipse was originally developed by IBM but is now managed by an independent not-for-profit consortium of software industry vendors. It is maintained by a large community of users, constantly extending the covered application areas. Various Python plugins for Eclipse have been developed, PyDEV being the most popular.
