Thank you for your report. I'm sorry you had difficulties. Although the current issue has not yet been fixed in a _Production_ build, it has been added to the backlog. 

Current instructions for installation of Python Support on NetBeans IDE can be found at: http://wiki.netbeans.org/PythonInstall These instructions work for specific releases only, but the resulting build DOES NOT exhibit the bug you have described.

This is now a community-supported project, endeavoring to return Python support to NetBeans. For more, see https://netbeans.org/projects/python/pages/Home
Comment 3 Lou Dasaro 2015-04-07 22:57:27 UTC 
Please don't mix DEVELOPMENT plugins with Production IDE(i.e. G.A.)
Such a scenario is KNOWN to break an installation; whereas the Development plugin with the Development IDE should work fine. Marking as Worksforme.

To retest, make sure you are using a recent DEVELOPMENT version of NetBeans IDE from 
http://bits.netbeans.org/download/trunk/nightly/latest/
AND with Python plugin installed from "Latest Build" update center at 
http://bits.netbeans.org/dev/nbms-and-javadoc/lastSuccessfulBuild/artifact/nbbuild/nbms/updates.xml.gz

Thank you.
