Not sure what you did wrong with netbeans. I just installed netbeans 6.8 php version, installed python plugin, and then created a new project, added web2py/gluon, and added applications/blogitizer. Waited some time for netbeans to index my python 2.6.4 and my project files.
On top of my model/controller files I did. if 0: from gluon.sql import * from gluon.sqlhtml import * from gluon.html import * db = DAL() #optionally use table references instead of db reference mytable = Table() I get correct code completion that is relevant, it does populate with the other methods from inherited classes, but those are in order of inheritance, so the "obj" methods are at the last of the list and the DAL methods are at the top. -Thadeus On Thu, Jan 21, 2010 at 12:05 AM, Anand Vaidya <anandvaidya...@gmail.com> wrote: > I use a combination of vim and ipython.
