It seems that Pydev (1.5.4) on Eclipse (3.5.1) with Python 2.6 isn’t able to correctly cross-reference the package gobject. Putting import gobject works OK but any more than that (e.g. class X(gobject.GObject) causes Pydev to report “unresolved reference” errors.

What could be the problem?

Note that every other package I use doesn’t trigger this error.

    The issue is related to this limitation of PyDev:

    I have a library installed and Pydev
    does not find it

    Well, problems have been reported on
    Mac and Linux, and the main reason
    seems to be symlinks. Pydev will only
    find extensions that are ‘really’
    below the python install directory.
    This happens because the ‘less common
    denominator’, which in this case is
    windows, does not have symlinks. A
    workaround to this problem includes
    manually adding the given folder
    installation to the pythonpath or
    changing the installation of the
    package to be under the site-packages
    folder.

    To adjust for this limitation, find the absolute path to the library and update the libraries associated with the interpreter for Pydev.
