Please note that this message will contain a full copy of the comment thread, including the initial issue submission, for this request, not just the latest update. 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 ?

Sometimes it is code that is actually executed when the program is run, sometimes it is comments. You may consider looking into this stuff further before posting on the python-ideas list. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Georg Brandl (gbrandl) Date: 2007-01-19 10:10 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=849994 Originator: NO If what you're suggesting is static typing, please go to the python-ideas mailing list and discuss it there. Changes of a scope that large shouldn't be discussed in a issue tracker. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=355470&aid=1639002&group_id=5470 _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
