I need to view the tabs and spaces and CRLF in python source code in eclipse the same way we could see them in notepad++, Now I have to edit in notepad++ and run in eclipse. Not a neat way but eclipse does regular update of the changes of same file in other editor.

    This should be cover with the "Show invisible" option

    show whitespace

    From Eclipse3.3:

    It is now possible to see the invisible whitespace characters in textual editors:

    This feature can either be controlled via "General > Editors > Text Editors > Show whitespace characters" preference, or via the tool bar button when the Editor Presentation action set is enabled.

    I did not tried it with PyDev, but its editor should be a "textual editor", and the option should work.

    when I press TAB it creates spaces instead of >> for tabs

    Check the option "General > Editors > Text Editors > Insert spaces for tabs":
    if unchecked, it will display tabs, not space.
