Default autocompletion is that provided by QScintilla2, which is based on API files ot the current document. The alternative a/c provided by the rope plugin works by analysing the source code. The way I coded the plugin is, that if rope a/c is activated, that is tried first. If rope doesn't give any completion, it falls back to the default QScintilla2 based a/c. The editor component in eric4 provides a hook method, which can be set by a plugin. That way, plugins can provide alternative a/c providers. The contribution of an even better a/c provider would be appreciated.
