You'll find that a large number of people in the Python community aren't impressed by fancy diagrams. I personally consider non-code artifacts created during development to be a waste of time. > On code completion - Eclipse with plugins does support code completion, > so do some other python IDEs.

This was the vision on > code completion. I think IDEs can handle dynamically added attributes because they show up in the class dict. The problem is __getattr__ and friends. Handling this case is not possible unless IDE writers come up with some sort of de facto standardized method name to call in case this occurs. The only place I've seen this is with PyCrust and Schevo (both done by Patrick O'Brien) and, of course, it doesn't work anywhere else. As far as code completion, I had a fairly extensive set of TurboGears/SQLObject completion macros for Vim but I could never get them to work consistently, so I never released them and don't use them anymore. I'll probably try again now that Vim 7 is out. It helps that I can use python rather than vimscript. ;] --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TurboGears" group.
