LDTP gets installed in default python path, so no need to explicitly set it.
If you are planing to use ldtpeditor, start it either from xterm or from
Alt+F2 (run command). gnome-terminal is accessibility enabled application,
so any event on that window will be also recorded. I think Eclipse is
written using Java. So, if you install Java-Access-Bridge you can automate
it using LDTP.

Thanks
