Category: Python Interpreter Core Group: Python 2.6 >Status: Closed Resolution: None Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: djnet (djnet) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: add type defintion support Initial Comment: Hi, I'm used to java language. When i use a good java ide, the autocompletion is very effective (python cannot be such effective). ex, if i enter following text: Date lDate=new Date(); lDate.[TAB_KEY] then the editor can display all the methods available for my 'lDate' object; it can because it knows the object's type. This is very convenient and allows to use a new API without browsing the API documentation ! I think such autocompletion could be achieved in python simply: it only need a "type definition" syntax. Of course, the type definition should NOT be MANDATORY ! So, is this a good idea ?
