I just installed Eclipse Kepler (after an issue with a faulty update in Juno) and tried to install PyDev using the Install New Software option in Eclipse. Basically just following memory/online tutorials. After installing I can't see it in my Preferences pane. Any ideas why that might be so?

Thanks.

Yes, I have Java 7 installed.

Too much!

After wasting 4 hours trying to install PyDev 3, I moved back to 2.8.2 and used the drop in technique instead of Add new software and it now works!

Download 2.8.2 from sourceforge http://sourceforge.net/projects/pydev/files/pydev/

Uninstall PyDev. Simply unzip the contents into the dropins folder below eclipse. Restart eclipse.
