Hello, I am embedding python support in my C++ application and was looking at adding "Intellisense" or "AutoComplete" support.
I found a way to do it using the "dir" function, but this creates a problem. Here's why. Let's say I have the following code in my editor: import sys x = sys Now, I would like to get all attributes of the object called 'x'. I can "instrument" the code and add "print dir(x)" at the end, temporarily redirect the python output to a string and execute the code. But this is not safe: I do NOT want to execute the code while the user is typing! Is there a way to "compile" the python code and get access to the symbol table from that compiled block? Did anybody ever implement AutoComplete in a editor for Python? cheers. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
