To get eclipse/PyDev to autocomplete web2py code, after some quick trial
and error here is what worked for me:
Assuming:
the top level eclipse project dir is web2py
your_app is the name of your application inside the web2py/applications
folder:
In __init__.py of your_app folder:
if 0:
from gluon import *
from gluon.languages import translator as T
In your controllers, say for e.g. in appadmin.py, add this line:
from applications.your_app import *
Now PyDev will recognize and complete things like URL etc. and T. You can
add more to your_app/__init__.py to introduce more recognition. There may
be better more standard ways to do this, I'm not a software engineer, still
learning the tricks of the trade!
Thanks!
