Which Eclipse package should I choose for Python development with PyDev?

Nothing on the Eclipse homepage tells me what to choose, and the PyDev documentation assumes I already have Eclipse installed. Does it matter which Eclipse package I choose?

If you just plan on doing Python dev, I'd just go with Platform Runtime Binary.

After that, I'd follow the instructions http://pydev.org/download.html and http://pydev.org/manual_101_root.html to install PyDev.

I use the same setup for Python development. I also have the RadRails plugin for Ruby on Rails development.
