ANN: PySmell v0.6 released

[Orestis Markou]

I'm happy to announce PySmell v0.6, an autocompletion library for
Python and Vim (other editors pending).

New features include:

* Import statement completion
* Support for multiple TAGS files (that means external libraries)
* Support for analysing Python 2.4-2.5 stdlib.

Plus many bugfixes and minor improvements.

What is PySmell?
=============== =

PySmell is a python IDE completion helper.

It tries to statically analyze Python source code, without executing it,
and generates information about a project's structure that IDE tools can
use.

The first target is Vim, because that's what I'm using and because its
completion mechanism is very straightforward .

Download and Installation
=============== ==========

PySmell's code is available at
[GitHub](http://github.com/orestis/pysmell/tree/v0.6). You can click
'Download' to get it as a zip/tar if you don't have git installed.

Extract and drop the pysmell package somewhere in your `PYTHONPATH`.
Distutils support coming soon - patches welcome!

Usage
=====

To generate a PYSMELLTAGS file, use:

cd /root/of/project /dir/of/pysmell.py .

If you want to specifically include or exclude some files or directories
(eg. tests), you can use:

/dir/of/pysmell.py [Package Package File File ...] [-x Excluded
Excluded ...]

Check for more options by invoking `pysmell.py` without any arguments

Vim integration
===============

To use PySmell omnicompletion from inside Vim, you have to have:

1. Python support
2. The pysmell package in your PYTHONPATH (sometimes
Vim is silly about this)
3. Source pysmell/pysmell.vim
4. `:set omnifunc=pysmel l#Complete` Note: If you want to always use
pysmell for
python, do: `autocmd FileType python set omnifunc=pysmel l#Complete`
5. [OPTIONAL] Select a matcher of your liking - look at pysmell.vim for
options. Eg: `:let g:pysmell_match er='camel-case'`

You can then use ^X^O to invoke Vim's omnicompletion.
You can find more documentation in the README.markdown file.
