So, my program have the classes and objects and they have attributes, but no auto-completion window appears when I write the object name followed by the dot. I can only force some window to appear (the same as with the Python 2) by pressing the Ctrl+Space, but that window is not related to any of my objects.

Without knowing exactly what you did, I cannot add to what I wrote 
before.  Did you try 'int.', in both shell and editor?  What does it do 
for you?  Did you try to  "run the code already written for completions 
to work properly." ?

Completions are the same in 3.6.5 and 3.7.0.

This list is for IDLE development.  Questions about VPython and Anaconda 
are off-topic, and I know little about either.  Try a VPython list, or 
python-list, or StackOverflow.

Please send any response to the list.
