How should the editor know, which class a variable belongs to. Python is a dynamically typed language. This means, that the type of an object is determined at runtime. This is a very big difference to C++ or Java, where a scanner can parse the source and determine the type of an object even before the code is compiled.

I'm pretty well aware of that - but I'm talking about visiting a file via the tabs, detecting code in it like

self.foobar()

and then one wants to visit foobar - which is located in the same file. So syncing the classbrowser with the currently visited file is nice. No reflection/type inference here.


Somebody recommended to make a toolbar with an entry for the search expression and a find and find next button. The search should use the flags set last time the search dialog was used. How about that?

The important part for me would be that it's fully Key-operated - in emacs, I press C-s for forward search, then start typing which does incrementally search. Pressing C-c twice makes the last search expression appear. C-r does the same backwards.

Displaying the search term in a toolbar is ok, but the advantage of the minibuffer-style is that it occupies precious screenspace only when needed.



And the ability to search forward/backward from the current cursor
position with possible wrap arounds instead of always beginning at the
top would also be great. Any chances for this?


That is in. Just select the backwards checkbox and select Find Again (or press F3).

It's not about searching backward, but about searching from the cursor position - instead of the beginnig, which is AFAIK the eric behaviour .I'm on my mac now and haven't eric running, so I can't check that out - but I was annoyed by that, and usually I know how to operate GUIs so I'd seen an option that changes that behaviour - I hope at least.
