Thanks!

The other day I posted about problem I was having while refactoring some python code while using the Pydev plugin for Eclipse. Fabio Zadrozny (one of the developers for Pydev) saw my post and asked for some more details on my problem. After a few emails he had a work around for the issue. Thanks Fabio!

The basic work around is to make sure that you have the “Auto-Refresh” option turned on. I never had that turned on so that’s why I had the pyc files laying around even though the source files were moved. (The auto refresh option is located under window > preferences > general > workspace > refresh automatically.) Fabio also asked me to submit a bug and hopefully this issue will be resolved in the next release.

This whole experience has been very cool. I found something, one of the developers noticed my posting, we talked through the problem, and a solution was found. All in the space of a day or so. That is just so cool, it is one of the benefits of open source software. A great piece of software with great support! Rock on Fabio and Pydev team!
