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.
