I'm using pythonwin build 132 and python 1.5.2. All the win32 stuff
works well, I can run scripts and code my own, but no call tips
whatsoever.

And no list appears when I try this. I remember seeing such lists two
or three weeks ago, but now nothing shows up (and I've installed
python+pythonwin on 3 different setups : win98, nt4serv and w2k
advanced server. I don't have autocompletion on any of those).

Do you mean coloring ? The source is colored alright.

Actually the online help is fine, I was talking about call tips,
autocompletion and all these niceties which make life easier (and yes,
I've uninstalled and reinstalled twice already).

I know it sounds strange....
