We could use/steal eric4-api.py to do this (http://osdir.com/ml/ide.eric/2007-11/msg00009.html) (I have attached the script). > This still leaves the question of determining the type of variables > and ivars.

Scintilla auto-completion files have ctags-like information (functions & arguments). I guess my point is - this issue is not worth thinking too much about at the moment. Scintilla should provide "good enough" autocompletion, and it's better to let others (scintilla people, eric4...) work on this and rather concentrate to more crucial things of getting the Qt plugin working properly in the first place (tree updates, key handling, menus, icons...). Also, I'm personally more interested in reading source trees in Leo (and C / C++, not python) than writing source code, though now that scintilla can be used (well, soon at least ;-) I could be swayed to start doing actual code authoring inside leo as well... > autocompletion and type os.path.j<tab>.

However, I wouldn't start shoehorning the leo completion system to scintilla until it is evident that it's actually needed. Again, it's better to let other people write code for us and enjoy the flow ;-) -- Ville M.
