Have you tried adding this functionality to the existing AutoComplete
extension? That could save you a lot of work and would be the best way to do
it.

Well, your code is doing a lot of things for which I don't understand the
reasons.

The best tip I can give you is to run IDLE from the command line (on
Windows, C:\Python32\python.exe C:\Python32\Lib\idlelib\idle.py). Then you
can see output and exceptions printed to the command console. You could also
print your own debugging info using "print" instead of using that s_print
function, and it won't show up in IDLE's shell, just in the command console.

Finally, if you're going for completions in the editor, check out the Rope
package which supplies some awesome code-analysis tools.
