The nbPython project aims to provide support for Python development to NetBeans.
The bits are available (milestone releases) for download now as NetBeans modules (nbms).
Let us get started
- D/l the M3 NBMs from here
- Unzip it
- Fire up NetBeans IDE
- Go to Tools -> Plugins -> Downloaded Tab
- Click on "Add Plugins" and select all the NBM files in the unzipped directory
- Now, you will see all the chosen modules alongwith their descriptions. You should see something like:
- Press the "Install" button
- On NetBeans 6.1 I get a dependency error:
- Then, I downloaded a latest build NetBeans IDE Build 200806220002 from here and repeated the above steps. This time there was no dependency problem
- You will get a "Validation Warning". Press "Continue"
-
The installation will continue and will be over without any further user interaction required
New Python Project
- Go to File-> New Project-> Python-> Python Project. Choose a Project Name- say "HelloNbPython". Click on Finish
- A new project gets created and is visible in the Project Explorer window. No default file is created
- Right Click on the project name, and select New-> Empty Python File. Enter a name, say- HelloWorld
- A Python script will be generated for you which will simply print "Hello World"
The project tree is now:
HelloNbPython/pyproject/project.properties
src/HelloWorld.py
Run the Python script
- Right Click on HelloWorld.py in the project explorer and click "Run Python Script"
- First time I did this, I got the following exception message:
- java.io.IOException: Cannot run program "/home/amit/netbeans-dev-200806220002/nbpython/jython-2.5/bin/jython" (in directory "/home/amit/NetBeansProjects/HelloNbPython"): java.io.IOException: error=13, Permission denied
- So I checked the file permission of the 'jython' executable:
- $ ls -l jython
-rw-r--r-- 1 amit amit 5101 2008-06-22 15:05 jython - As you can see there is no executable permission for 'jython' as indicated by the absence of the 'x' flag
- So, I made the 'jython' executable by: chmod +x jython
- Run the script again and you should get "Hello World" in the output window
Sorry about the hiccups. I just published the note about development build. The article looks great. Thanks for your support

thanks alot for making good IDE for python
God bless you

This is a much awaited addition to netbeans. I tried using this with the Netbeans php vdelopment Early access build.
Also didnt have jython installed. Jython is now in my path.
However when I run the Helloworld I get the following error ( maybe I should post to forum instead of here?)
java.lang.AssertionError: is a file
etc etc
Have filed a report with id 69678

Hello I have a problem to execute my python script in netbeans-windows. Maybe now you are thinking something like "and what are you doing developing in Windows environment". The truth is that in my current job, I have sometime, where i can develop all that I want, but the OS is windows in all the computers.
The exception that give me is:
"java.io.IOException: CreateProcess error=193, %1 is not a valid Win32 application
at java.lang.ProcessImpl.create(Native Method)
at java.lang.ProcessImpl.<init>(ProcessImpl.java:81)
at java.lang.ProcessImpl.start(ProcessImpl.java:30)
at java.lang.ProcessBuilder.start(ProcessBuilder.java:452)
Caused: java.io.IOException: Cannot run program "E:\netbeans\NetBeans\nbpython\jython-2.5\bin\jython" (in directory "C:\Documents and Settings\pablojgg\My Documents\NetBeansProjects\HelloNbPython"): CreateProcess error=193, %1 is not a valid Win32 application
at java.lang.ProcessBuilder.start(ProcessBuilder.java:459)
at org.netbeans.modules.languages.execution.ExecutionService$2.run(ExecutionService.java:362)
[catch] at org.netbeans.core.execution.RunClassThread.run(RunClassThread.java:151)"
Sound bad no???. I hope that somebody of you have the same problem before, and give me a solution!.
Thank you for your time, and congratulation for the post.
Pablo.
