To your first question, in one word $money. I would love to use PyCharm
but I am not a commercial developer and can't see paying the freight for
most of the commercial packages. I applied for a free version of PyCharm
and never heard back from them. The biggest complaint with Eclipse that
I have heard is the size of the package. I have a half terabyte of
storage, a four processor cpu and 4 gbytes of ram expandable to 16 gB. I
don't care if the package is functional. I'm not much of a purist in
these matters.
Your second question is harder. Every howto I looked at was different.
I'm sure that this is due to version changes. Bu still. So lets take the
one at
http://www.pydev.org/faq.html#PyDevFAQ-HowdoIimportexistingprojects/sourcesintoPyDev?
since I am importing existing Django projects into PyDev and the project
has never been in Eclipse we try option 1.
File > New . PyDev File > New > PyDev Project wizard and select as the
directory the directory with your sources. So:
File (OK) > New (No pydev project wizard show ) > Project > Select a
wizard (only Pydev shown) > dropdown PyDev .> PyDev Django Project and
hit next. And we get a whole page full of choices that are not covered
in the tutorial. The next section talks about importing and setting the
PyDev Django Project and adding 2 string sub variables ((on right click
project > properties > PyDev PYTHONPATH) . Of course I'm still back
there with this window with all of the choices starting with Project
Name (easy), Project content (not sure), several selections that are
pretty obvious and then 4 selections like Create 'src' folder and add to
PYTHONPATH, Create link to ..., etc . By this time IV'E LOST IT. I can
bumble along and come up with something but have no idea weather it's
correct. This could really bite me later. Ever single howto that I have
looked at has the same problem. I can figure out things if the howto is
close but when big chunks have been left out? I've managed to get
through Tango With Rango even using python 3.4 and Django 1.8 with not
too much trouble. But this!
Like I said before, I can't afford to spend money on a commercial
product and hope someone can point me in the right direction with
Eclipse / PyDev.
Any help will be sincerely appreciated

Could you also tell us:
1) Why you need to switch to Eclipse specifically rather than PyCharm
<https://www.jetbrains.com/pycharm/>, SublimeText
<http://www.sublimetext.com/>, or (the one I use) Atom
<http://www.marinamele.com/install-and-configure-atom-editor-for-python>?
2) What error Eclipse is showing or what functionality is not working?

Hi all;
I have been working on a project for some time using Ninja-IDE.
Unfortunately the development on Ninja has - for all practical
purposes - stopped. It no longer works for me. I need to switch to
Eclipse with the Pydev plugin and am having trouble finding out
how to do this. I have looked at several howto's. So far I can
follow them up to a point and then what shows up on the screen
starts to depart from what's in the howto. The end result is that
I can't finish the process. Also there is no mention of virtual
environments. This worries me. I have multiple projects on my system.
I'm using:
Debian stretch Linux
Eclipse 3.8
pyDev 4.4.0
django 1.8,4
python 3.4
venv (not virtualenv) virtual environment
git with github repository
postgresql 9.4 dbms
Can someone point me in the right direction with this.
