To add additional information on this omni-completion bug, I
discovered that this bug only affects omni-completion when editing the
file doing the failed import. For example take these two files:
--
#!/usr/bin/env python
# foo.py
import notamodule
class Foo:
def bar(self):
pass
# Can't do an omni-complete against Foo here
--
#!/usr/bin/env python
# spam.py
import foo
# You can, however, omni-complete foo.Foo here, even foo.Foo.bar
--
I'm not sure if this helps but it seemed worth reporting.
Best,
Chris
