Eclipse + PyDev becomes extremely slow with large import

I'm trying to use Eclipse + PyDev for studying OpenGL programming but when I type

from OpenGL.GL import *
from OpenGL.GLUT import *

IDE becomes extremely slow!

Ok. It isn't a smart idea import to much useless things but it开发者_JAVA技巧's so useful for learning a new library!

Any help?

PS: I use Ubuntu with Eclipse Galileo.

You may want to disable Project -> Build Automatically on the menu. It makes no sense to continue building files with Python, and you've got an interactive console to test your code. This will not affect code-completion at all.

I'm trying to reproduce your issue and I'm unable to do it here -- even with those constructs, it doesn't get slower, so, I think your real issue is some other issue -- the most likely is that the JVM is not getting enough memory.

So, please try doing the following: turn the build automatically on again (if you disabled it -- as it's not generally recommend) and check:

1. If you have the latest PyDev installed

2. Is "OpenGL" in the forced builtins (it should be -- that should be done automatically, so, just double-check).

3. Read What are the best JVM settings for Eclipse? and use those settings (if it's really a memory issue, the "-Xmx" flag is the one you need to raise).

If nothing solves that and you really feel disabling the automatic build is needed, don't forget to run the build manually whenever you use some function that needs that info -- i.e.: search globals: Ctrl+Shift+T, find references: Ctrl+Shift+G in selected token -- and probably a bunch of others I'm forgetting :)
