autocomplete in editor using actual python from the ipython console

[Tal Kaminker]

Hi,
Today the autocomplete of the editor and of the console are different. the editor uses rope and the ipython console uses ipython.
the ipython autocomplete is much more correct:
for example writing:
x = zeros(10)
x+<dot> will popup all the functionality of numpy array

doing the same in the editor doesn't do anything

I understand why but can we get the following functionality working:
typing (in the editor)
x = zeros(10)
evaluating this (using F5 or alike) in ipython
so (typing again in the editor)
x+<dot> will work

This is more like how the autocomplete in IDLE works

Thanks!

Works for me here. Newer versions use jedi instead of rope.

The standard information that should accompany any bug report:

What version of Spyder?

What OS and version?

What version of Python?

What does Help --> Optional dependencies show?

Or if you do not want to type that go to:

Help --> Report Issue and cut and paste the information in the Issue box.
