How to Install Pydev for Eclipse on Linux
Many a times you are are faced with solving a problem and you turn to Python on a Linux box.
One of the easiest solution to developing on Python on a Linux machine is using the Eclipse IDE with the Pydev plugin.
There are many links on google which give you a step by step walk through of how to install Eclipse and Pydev.
Here is a link which explains in detail: The Easy Way
There are scnearios when you chose The Hard Way or when you can't go The Easy Way, and that is where this post is useful.
1. Manually Install Eclipse with the tar.gz file
Choose the one that is applicable to your machine
Transfer the tar.gz file to your install directory.
Untar the file with: tar xvfz
Ex: /home/user/install
2. Manually Install Pydev with zip file
Preferrably Download 1.6.5 or above
Download the zip file to the same install directory where you downloaded eclipse
Ex: /home/user/install
If you do an ls inside the install folder you should be able to see the Pydev zip file along
with folders like plugins, features, eclipse binary et al.
Now unzip the Pydev zip file and this will install files in plugins and features directory of eclipse.
3. Run Eclipse and make sure you can use Pydev features
Issue the command ./eclipse -clean from /home/user/install directory to make available Pydev features.
To ensure Pydev is correctly installed. Open eclipse, Click on Window > Open Perspective > Other . You should be able to see Pydev project, this means Pydev is correctly installed

Installing paramiko for windows
How to Install paramiko for Windows?
Recently, I came across a situation where I had to do some ssh related work on Windows.
Paramiko is a great option and honestly one of the viable options, besides of course, Twisted. I still haven't waded those waters in Windows but a tutorial on that is due in some time ;)
Please keep in mind to ensure you download the relevant versions matching your python installation and Windows version (32 or 64).
This goes without saying that you will need Python to be installed. Check this link: Download Python here
1. Download paramiko for windows. You get the zip file:
Paramiko for windows
2. To build it you need the dependency package pycrypto. Again keep in mind you will need a matching version of pycrypto for your Python. This is a built version of Windows so no install is required. Check here
3. You could do an easy_install by downloading setuptools but I ran into some issues so I chose to download MinGW tool. This is again an installation and no build is required. Available here
4. Once you have pycrypto and MinGW installed on your windows machine, just browse to the folder where you extracted the paramiko module from the zip file and issue this command:
python setup.py build --compiler=mingw32 bdist_wininst
TADA! You are all set to use ssh on your windows machine with Python.
For demo scripts check out the demo folder in paramiko or for documentation here: Click here
