Re: Freesoftware for auto/intelligent code completing in Python

The free Python editors/IDEs really do need work as far as code completion goes but I am hopeful.

IMO Stani's Python Editor comes closest by providing some code sense through a combination of history and doc strings for Python built-ins. Where it falls short is the ability to scan doc strings for your own code and non built-in modules in the Python path. Python already has the ground work in place to accomplish something similar to VS's XML commenting/intellisense system. With a Python interpretor you can type help(myModule) and get the doc string documentation. So I imagine implementing code sense for code being developed as well as non built-in modules would just be a matter of finding the appropriate module at the right time and piping the output of help([module]) to a popup window.

If your willing to help work on something like that I suggest contacting Stani directly http://pythonide.stani.be/ or creating a plugin for Geany http://geany.uvena.de/

This could be an extension, a plugin, an Emacs mode, a new editor or
even a brand new huge all-fancy IDE, I don't care, but what am I

Could someone please point me out something that I'm really missing

and I could volunteer to make this happen as thesis project for my

Vim, Emacs, Wing, Komodo, ... more?

Yeah, I guess you're missing something. :-)

I've checkout Wing IDE's license and it doesnt' seem to be a
freesoftware; am I wrong?

Ivan, thanks for your reply. I am curious how come you're suggesting
me those two, but not others. Is there a good/particular reason for
that?
