Python and Intellisense

Question

Is there an equivalent to \'intellisense\' for Python?

Perhaps i shouldn\'t admit it but I find having intellisense really speeds up the \'discovery phase\' of learn

Answer 1

Wingware for example implements auto-completion, see http://wingware.com/doc/edit/auto-completion .

Answer 2

For emacs and VI there's also https://github.com/tkf/emacs-jedi.

Answer 3

Well, I think the most dynamic way to learn Python is to use iPython.

You got autocompletion when using tab, dynamic behaviour because it's a shell and you can get the full documentation of any object / method typing :

object.method ?

When developping, I agree that PyDev is cool. But it's heavy, so while learning, a text editor + iPython is really nice.

Answer 4

IronPython is the way to go. Visual Studio has the best intellisense support and you can utilize that using IronPython
