Cheap trick to achieve intellisense/autocompletion

[Andrew Buchan]

Hi all,

I've found a way to get code completion on global objects such as request, response and db (with all your table definitions and fields!) in IDEs which provide code completion.

I've been using this for a while now and have to say it really does speed up my web2py development, so thought I'd finally tidy it up a bit and share it.

Here's what you'd get on all your tables:

        db..

        db.my_table..

        db.my_table.my_field..

        db.my_table.my_field.represent

Source is here:

Enjoy!

thanks! seems to work fine so far. You've got a syntax error in line 38: ', is missing at the end.

Excellent, glad someone is using it. Thanks for the heads up on the typo, it's not the version I'm actually using which is why I'll have missed it. Fixed now.

What IDE are you using btw?

I'm using PyCharm Community Edition. I'm planning to upgrade to the Professional Edition (which has web2py support) once they got some annoying bugs fixed. At the moment I don't know how good the web2py support is, i.e. if it makes your db autocomplete script obsolete or not.

I do use PyCharm Pro for 2 years now and it generally good, but it has difficulty to resolve vars define in model... I hope they improve web2py support. They have made an effort when they bring web2py support but then it seems that they stop developping for web2py users... Maybe they sell to few licences ??

I really enjoy using PyCharm even if the support is not perfect though
