After a quick skim of the book it seems that it does two things of
merit:

 - set up Blender API autocompletion in the Eclipse IDE - this seems to
   require special "header file" versions of the Blender API code,
   which seems odd given that plenty of other systems introspect python
   code without such a step

 - hook a debugger into Blender scripts which can breakpoint code in
   Eclipse started from Blender.

To be honest I never use debuggers in Python, maybe I should do more,
but tracebacks and print()s usually get me to the problem quite fast.
I used gdb with C/C++, but C/C++ errors are more "exactly which
statement accessed invalid memory", vs. Python's errors closer to the
actual problem domain.

So for me anyway, autocompletion would be great, particularly seeing in
Blender it only works in the Python console, not in the editor, but in
terms of integration of Leo and Blender I feel I'd be 95% there with
"import mycode; reload(mycode)" in the Blender Python console, with
up-arrow, Enter to execute :-}

I guess the answer to autocompletion is the same as the answer to
Kent's question about ctags - I'm not really sure what the current
state of play for autocompletion in Leo is.
