Python on Netbeans 7.1

Question

I've tried to find a plugin for this, but couldn't.

I also tried to follow these instructions to manually install it, but the link is dead.

https://techknowhow.library.emory.edu/blogs/sturnbu/2011/05/12/netbeans-7-and-python-ide

Is there any other way to install it or is it not possible in netbeans 7.1?

Answer 1

The following link should work (add it into your plugin repository list as said in your given source ): http://deadlock.netbeans.org/hudson/job/nbms-and-javadoc/lastSuccessfulBuild/artifact/nbbuild/nbms/updates.xml.gz

But keep in mind that the Python Plugin is still buggy for Netbeans 7.* : http://wiki.netbeans.org/PythonInstall

Good luck!

Answer 2

Are you wedded to netbeans?

If not, can I suggest PyCharm.

Answer 3

I would like to provide a more generic answer regarding modules installation.

It is possible to install a standalone module, to do so :

Go to Tools-->Plugins-->Downloaded-->Add Plugin

The plugin extension should be nbm or jar
