Being a language with dynamic (duck) types, how much will intellisense help ? Perhaps for a few basic types and names, which are inferrable from a static context, like "gtk". I have never found intellisense a useful feature, because most of the time I either know what I want or I prefer to do a "dir()" or "help()". > > Use Omnicomplete in vim -- works very well. Isn't the O.P talking about Emacs ? I think you might find CEDET useful. I have never tried it except for the speedbar, which I found pretty useful, sometime back, though I felt it was more of a distraction and turned it off. http://cedet.sourceforge.net/intellisense.shtml > > -- b > _______________________________________________ > BangPypers mailing list > BangPypers@python.org > http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/bangpypers > -- -Anand _______________________________________________ BangPypers mailing list BangPypers@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/bangpypers
