Mavericks on Macbook Pro. with 8 Gig. When trying to install the PyDev 3.0 IDE into new Eclipse install (with latest versions Python 3.3.3, Eclipse Version: Kepler Service Release 1 Build id: 20130919-0819), PyDev does not show in Eclipse preferences, so it cannot create Python project. I have Android Developer Tools installed and works fine. I don't know if that's interfering with the install because the ADT uses a different Eclipse install. Any solutions to this problem? Been 3 hours into this with no luck. Any help would be great!

The usual problem is that PyDev now requires java 7... not having java 7 makes Eclipse simply not show PyDev.
Note that even if you have java 7 installed it's possible that you're still using an older version of java.
To check if Eclipse is using java 7 check the about > installation details > configuration (see http://wiki.eclipse.org/Eclipse.ini#-vm_value:_Mac_OS_X_Example for details on how to specify the vm).

I just went through this. My mistake was I was installed Java 7 JRE and not JDK. Downloaded and installed the JDK and everything was groovy. JDK - http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk7-downloads-1880260.html

Already running Java 7 VM, but no joy. I did receive a tip to try out LiClipse. I downloaded and installed to find PyDev already in preferences! A welcome site! Here's the reply that I followed:
Note: http://brainwy.github.io/liclipse/ has a PyDev standalone version which has a bundled jre which should make the process much smoother...
