rlcompleter and wxPython, problems ...

[Stef Mientki]

hello,

I'm trying to implement autocompletion into my editor.
But I find some weird behavior,
or at least I don't have the faintest idea why this behavior occures,
and even more important how to solve it
In the example below I try to autocomplete " wx.s" , which in my humble
opinion should at least produce "wx.stc" (and some others ).

The completion is done in a procedure, so the "locals" is quite clean.
Before calling the completer, I import the left part of my string to be
completed.
The program below gives indeed "wx.stc" as an option,
but if I leave the second line out, marker "<<<===" ,
I get no results.

Can someone explain this behavior and
maybe even have a solution ?

thanks,
Stef Mientki
