Other IDEs, please take the hint. That should be trivial to implement
once you have basic autocompletion system in place (e.g. SPE). That
still leads to code clutter but it will do until someone implements a
proper type inference system... Of course it should also heed the
isinstance line when it's commented out.

Yeah, SPE seems to be quite a solid offering - but pydev (the Eclipse
plugin) seems to be getting there really fast also. It also has a
debugger that SPE lacks.
