[Idle-dev] IDLE Extension - Prompt goes missing

I took a good look at it and also at CodeContext and learned a lot from it.
But it was easier to put it into its own extension and seemed cleaner to me.
Of course the completions show up in AutoComplete. What it does is that it
simply points a global Reference "self" to the classname(s) it finds in the
editor above the cursor.

I should have been a little more verbose. In the update method there are two
example lines for a call I need to do to install the class reference: 

        #self.remote_control("get_the_calltip", "mint")  # this strategy
would require to alter idle-code
        self.remote_control("runcode", "1+1\n") 

With either of them I am having the problem of the disapearing prompt.
Something similiar works fine from within the CodeContext extension so
probably I am missing something here. I will investigate further.

I figured this out by coincidence just after I had posted this question.
Though it seems very obvious to me know this is a very good hint and should
by all means be included in the extend.txt file or on some website about
IDLE Development.
