Pydev Not Recognized in Eclipse

python eclipse ide pydev

I've been using PyDev within Eclipse on my Mac for about two years now. Updated Eclipse today, and suddenly PyDev is completely missing. Tried everything, included a complete uninstall and fresh install, but although PyDev shows up as installed in the menu, it appears nowhere else.

PyDev version: 3.0.0.201311051910 Eclipse: Version: Kepler Service Release 1 Build id: 20130919-0819

I can't open a PyDev perspective, I can't create a new Python file, and I can't open an existing Python file without it just being seen as plain text.

I've got a huge assignment due tonight, help appreciated.

To see what the problem is, I upgraded from PyDev 2.8.2 to 3.0.0 just for this. It caused me a world of hurt. That version is filled with bugs. Nothing is working for me, including the perspectives or the debugger. I just went back to 2.8.2 and all is well again. I am also on Kepler and Mac. Go to 2.8.2. YOu can uninstall pydev using eclipse, then simply install pydev using the easy zip file instructions here: http://pydev.org/manual_101_install.html.

3.0.0 was just released yesterday. They obviously have some fixing to do!
