:-)

Some person with a couple of hours should take this on for IDLE.  It would
not be hard to take the existing Tk "calltip" code and convert it to a
pop-up listbox for attribute expansion.  Pythonwin already has code to find
the entries for the listbox, and in such a way that making this work for Tk
should not be hard.

I mentioned this to Guido before, and he seemed generally interested but
simply lacking time for these sorts of features.

So any volunteers?

Mark.
