Not sure why this tutorial tries to show working with NetBeans AND PyPE. To get NetBeans working you have to install the Python plugin, which also installs Jython (a post above describes how to do that). Then you have to gut the plugin you just installed. In NetBeans click Tools->Python Platform (you may have to open a dummy New Project before this option appears). Then in the Platforms tab Remove the Jython platform and add the executable (python.exe as described in the tutorial) as a Platform. Then in the Python Path tab, either delete the NetBeans path, or at least push it to the bottom of the list. I can’t imagine that this path leads to the same version that Panda requires, and even if it does, you don’t want to point to two different Python installations. BTW, I’m a total newb to Panda and this is my first post, so if I lead anyone astray, at least my heart was in the right place.
