Wrap text in PyDev editor

Question

Is it possible to set text wrapping in PyDev?

For Python such feature is especially important because you cant freely use newline characters.

Answer 1

In PyDev, the Source/Wrap paragraph menu (Ctrl+2, w) wraps the current line automatically. You should of course check if the output is what you expected.

Answer 2

Python syntax depends on indentation. So automatic text wrapping spoils the syntax. But you can tell Python to continue a statement on the next line. See the style guide under Maximum Line Length : : http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0008/
