I've read information from 7 different sites and read a number of posts regarding installing PyDev using eclipse.

Every time I run the add new software as instruction, I encounter the following error

Error:

How can I fix this?

    Lots of other questions about this. The solution seems to be either install a new version of Eclipse or an older version of PyDev. Commented Feb 1, 2014 at 9:14
  • Yes, updading to kepler, eclipse 4.3, allowed me to install pydev 3.3.3.20.... etc, where previously I was getting same errors as you. There is lots of good information here: stackoverflow.com/questions/17337526/… Commented Feb 3, 2014 at 18:30
  • Yup, figured it out earlier today. I had trouble getting PyDev to show up in Eclipse after successfully loading it. If that happens, make sure you have Java JDK 8, apparently. Once I updated my Java, PyDev showed up no problem. Now to learn Eclipse... Commented Feb 4, 2014 at 6:00
  • The Install Page (pydev.org/manual_101_install.html) says: "Eclipse 3.8 onwards is required for the latest versions of PyDev (if you need to use an earlier version of Eclipse, stick to PyDev 2.8.x).". Commented Oct 6, 2014 at 15:54

The problem is in Eclipse 3.7 (it can't read the signature done in the PyDev plugin -- this is a bug fixed on Eclipse 3.8).

So, in short, you need Eclipse 3.8 onwards in order to install PyDev using the update site (and also, PyDev now requires java 7 -- as a note, LiClipse: http://brainwy.github.io/liclipse/ which is a commercial counterpart of PyDev is standalone and has all requisites builtin).
