## PyGhidra
The supported way to develop and debug PyGhidra is with the _[PyDev][pydev]_ plugin for Eclipse.
When PyDev is installed and configured, several new Eclipse run configurations will appear that
enable running and debugging PyGhidra from both _GUI_ and _Interpreter_ modes.
When you perform a `gradle prepdev`, a Python virtual environment gets setup at `build/venv/`. PyDev
should be pointed at this virtual environment so it has access to the editable PyGhidra module, as
well as the typing/stub information. From Eclipse (with PyDev installed):
1. _Settings -> PyDev -> Interpreters -> Python Interpreter_
2. Click _New..._
3. Click _Browse for python/pypy exe_
4. Choose `build/venv/bin/python3`
5. Enter a value for _Interpreter Name_
6. Check _Select All_ and press _OK_
7. Click the _Prefined_ tab, and then _New..._
8. Choose `build/typestubs/pypredef`
9. Click _Apply and Close_
