  • Graphical test runner

    Hi

    I am a IDEA user for a long time now, using it to manage our Java projects. Today I installed the Python plugin (on IDEA 8.1), and it seems to be performing as expected, except for one big thing: the editor seems to not recognize python syntax. The .py files themselves seem to be being recognized, as the project view show the tree of files as being valid Python source files. But as I bring a source file into the editor, no keywords or other language specifics highlight in the window. The text shows in plain black-and-white. Also, code completion and type ahead are not working at all. It is as if the editor thinks the .py file is just a plain text file, despite the fact the .py type is properly set in the file types list of recognized types.

    Do you know of any hidden setting that could be causing this behavior? I would hate to give up on IDEA as my Python IDE, since it is so good when working in Java, and I belive much of that hability is already in the plugin.

    Cheers,

    Anand,

    Please go to Settings | File Types and make sure that the .py extension is mapped to the Python file type, rather than plain text.

    It worked for me!

    Just install “ActiveState” Python
    install cx_oracle

    add python SDK in your intellij
    and it will work.

    although, it does not recognize all the imported packages and “Underlines” them saying unresolved package!, but if you run the program it works!
