hi! I had that proposal (stated back in 2001 here http://bugs.python.org/issue449227 ), with these main moments to cite myself: <<< I use rlcompleter extensively in interactive Python mode. I think it could be cool if callable objects were added "(" when completed. This way it will be much faster to program, without looking-up __doc__. For example:
f.fil<TAB> will give: f.fileno(_ ("_" is to mark cursor position) and:
f.so<TAB> will (as before) give: f.softspace _
One more illustration:
f = open("myfile", "w") f. f.__class__( f.__repr__( f.next( f.__delattr__( f.__setattr__( f.read( f.__doc__ f.__str__( f.readinto( f.__enter__( f.close( f.readline( f.__exit__( f.closed f.readlines( f.__getattribute__( f.encoding f.seek( f.__hash__( f.fileno( f.softspace f.__init__( f.flush( f.tell( f.__iter__( f.isatty( f.truncate( f.__new__( f.mode f.write( f.__reduce__( f.name f.writelines( f.__reduce_ex__( f.newlines f.xreadlines( f.
- nice to remember which attributes are methods and which aren't.
There are patches recently made by Manuel Muradás and Facundo Batista for 2.6 (so I assume some people are interested in the patch, not only me), but I have no idea how (and if) it ever gets into Python? 2.6 and 3k. Its a very small feature to make a PEP, but how then? I hope rlcompleter will not get obsoleted before the patch is accepted ;-) Thanks! Regards, Roman
