Summary: Extension to CallTips / Show attributes

Initial Comment:
This is a new version of an extension to CallTips 
showing on the fly attributes and methods of an object.

This proposal is based on IDLEfork 0.9a1 (and Python 
2.2) .

Three files have to be modified :
 CallTips.py
 CallTipWindow.py and
 config-extensions.def.

New features:

Hitting a dot will display all available attributes and 
methods of an object within a scrollable box. (apart from 
names beginning with __ )

Key-Up and Key-Down events support scrolling.

Further Key event will reduce the proposed names 
according to the substring written to the text widget.

Hitting the Space-Key will copy the topmost item of the 
list to the Editor or Console window.

... A usefull extension for python beginners !

Greetings
Martin Liebmann

I think this patch could use some addtional work before
it's really ready for prime time:

import StringIO

StringIO.StringIO.  [produces a list of class StringIO
                                attributes.  Useful, but
                                unexpected
                                to be produced at the class
                                level.

>>> s = StringIO.StringIO
>>> s
<class StringIO.StringIO at 0x402df3bc>

>>> s.               [doesn't produce a list of
                     attributes, as would be expected
                     for the instance.]

>>> ================================ RESTART =========
>>> from StringIO import *
>>> StringIO
<class StringIO.StringIO at 0x402df3bc>
>>> StringIO.        [produces the list of classes and
                     top level defs associated with the
                     StringIO module]

>>> ================================ RESTART =========
>>> class Animal:
    def __init__(self, numberlegs, sound=None):
        self.nlegs = numberlegs
        self.sound = sound

    def legs(self, numberlegs=None):
        if numberlegs == None:
            print self.nlegs
        else:
            self.nlegs = numberlegs

    def sound(self):
        print sound

--------------
>>> dog = Animal.    [doesn't produce a list of
                      attributes]
>>> dog = Animal(    [produces the expected call tip]
----------------
>>> dog = Animal(4, 'bark')
>>> dog
<__main__.Animal instance at 0x404dd42c>
>>> dog.             [doesn't produce a list of
                     attributes. Generally can't
                     see attributes for Classes
                     defined in shell for some reason.]

[define Animal in efoo.py]
>>> ================================ RESTART ========
>>> import efoo
---------------------
>>> efoo.            [produces a list of efoo.py Classes
                     and top-level defs]
----------------------
>>> efoo.Animal.     [produces list of Animal attributes]
----------------------
>>> dog = efoo.Animal(4, 'bark')
>>> dog
<efoo.Animal instance at 0x405489ac>
>>> dog.              [doesn't produce list of attributes.]

Will you be able to upload the patch file?

BTW, we prefer context diffs over unidiffs when possible.
