eclipse plugin for python

=====================================
Installing eclipse plugin for python:
=====================================

eclipse version: eclipse-jee-galileo-win32

Help -> Install New Software

    Add ...

Name: pydev

Configuring auto-refresh
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Eclipse by default (at least on 3.1) does not refresh
things automatically, so, if you make changes outside of the workspace, you will
not see the changes until you refresh it (F5 on the navigator). However, you can
change the default setting and ask Eclipse to refresh automatically.

To set auto-refresh, go to window > preferences > general > workspace
and check the refresh automatically check-box.

NOTE: not doing so may have some specially strange results with .pyc files not
being deleted, as pydev will only acknowledge that the .pyc file exists on a refresh.

wordnet 2.1 lexnames missing

download PyWordNet

>>> from wordnet import *

Traceback (most recent call last):

download WordNet-2.0.tar.gz

C:\tools\python>gzip -d WordNet-2.0.tar.gz
C:\tools\python>mkdir x

C:\tools\python\x>tar xf WordNet-2.0.tar
C:\tools\python\x\WordNet-2.0\dict>cp lexnames C:\tools\wordnet\2.1\dict

now it works

>>> from wordnet import *
>>> N['dog']
dog(n.)
>>> V['dog']
dog(v.)
>>> ADJ['clear']
clear(adj.)
>>> ADV['clearly']
clearly(adv.)

Why lexnames is missing from wordnet 2.1 ?
