Hi Adrian, Thanks again for your response, but I do think that we are talking about different things. I am talking about IN SPYDER. Is it a different behavior between Windows and Linux? In Windows, Tools --> Open command prompt will open a command console IN SPYDER, in where the Python console is (a new tab, just like a second Python console). You can use ctrl + shift + c to switch into this console.
To repeat: 0) Use Windows 7 64 bit, and install Python + spyderlib; 1) Open Spyder; 2) Go to Tools --> Open command prompt; 3) A command window will be launched in Spyder console panel (adding a new panel to the right of exisiting Python consoles); 4) Set focus to the console being opened. You can see that auto-complete does not work in here. And, of course, if I just open a cmd in Windows, the auto-complete will work. It is only IN SPYDER that it won't work. Thanks again for your patience in reading through Adrian... Appreciate it :) Shawn On Sun, Apr 12, 2015 at 12:11 AM, Adrian Klaver <[email protected]> wrote: > On 04/11/2015 08:05 PM, Yuxiang Wang wrote: >> >> Hi Adrian, >> >> I see where the miscommunication happen now - sorry that I meant "cmd >> window in Spyder". >> >> If you do tools - open command prompt in spyder, you will open a >> "command window". >> >> In windows, the "command window in spyder" can work like a cmd shell >> without the autocomplete.
