I'm writing up v2.0 of my gallery generating Python script, which I called PyWebGallery. I was testing some stuff yesterday, integrating new things into stuff that I knew was working, when Eclipse started behaving in a weird fashion. Namely, everytime I was importing data from an external module, it would refuse to acknowledge its existence and to run the programme.

Things got worse when I set out to update PyDev, and eventually reinstall Eclipse from scratch to get the 3.1 update. Eclipse didn't even start running my script: it threw an error that I haven't seen documented anywhere on the web "Unable to get to the project for the run". Any idea what this means? I tried running the script without the external module (which is the configuration file for the galleries), and it ran with no problem.

Anyway, Julien helped me out with it last night and solved the problem. We thought that maybe the file was corrupted or that Eclipse thought that it was corrputed. So we tried to run the programme with another instance of Python. It ran correctly. Run from Eclipse it crashed. Julien copy-pasted the code into a new file and ran it from Ecplise. Worked like a charm. Weird isn't it...

So the only remaining issue is that the PyDev debugger right now is not working properly. The view remains stuck at the last breakpoint you inserted. So there's no way of knowing where the problems are.
