Tip for Python users who edit with pydev on Eclipse

[Cayle]

As of version 1.5, pydev warns about unused variables. This is a wonderful feature. Unfortunately, this wonderful feature also triggers on variables only used to iterate for loops. E.g.

Code: Select all

for j in range(0, rowsPerColumn):

There is a tip to get around this on this stack overflow thread.

By default, it looks like PyDev will hide unused variable warnings for any variables that have names beginning with "dummy", "_", or "unused".

So after a bit of refactoring, the pydev is happy with the following code and you will only get warnings about real potential problems.

Code: Select all

for dummyJ in range(0, rowsPerColumn):

sweet thanks for the tip! I occasionally use Python still and I use Eclipse quite a bit for my G1 android development.
