To add autocomplete function in PyScripter Interactive Console?

[Chen Kee]

All,

In a python console, we can use:

>>> import readline
>>> import rlcompleter
>>> readline.parse_and_bind("tab: complete")


To add auto complete functIon, but this is not working in PyScripter's
Interactive Console, may I know how to fix it?

Thanks!

In PyScripter to get autocompletion you press Ctrl+Space. It should
automatically come up when you type the ".".

e.g,

>>> import sys
>>> sys. <- You should get the autocompletion window popping up.

You can complete with Tab, Enter or a bracket etc.

PyScripter,

Thanks for the hint, very useful, but that is not a "fully" auto
complete function, it can not complete the keywords like
"import" (think ipython or using the my code above on a pure python
console), is it still possible?.

And more, the PyScripter's Interactive Console can not print the
module "progressbar"'s output in right format, bascially I think it
can not support the "\b" output, is it solveable?

Indeed \b is not supported.  Keyword autocompletion was not considered particularly useful and was not supported.  You can autocomplete the import statement though getting a list of modules and identifiers you can import.
