Exactly. > What about function completion? Where I type a function.. and it > displays a "list" of potential function/defs ?

I don't think so but there is a primitive class browser. Also idleX has something called a code context that shows things like the method definition within its class. To be honest I don't use IDLE that much any more and if I do its idleX. Mostly I just use vim and a command shell and for debugging winpdb (in the rare cases where print and the >>> prompt are insufficient.) The other important thing is that it is all written in Python, and Tkinter as the GUI, so its a good source of sample code. But the easiest thing is just install the package and have a play! :-) -- Alan G Author of the Learn to Program web site http://www.alan-g.me.uk/ http://www.amazon.com/author/alan_gauld Follow my photo-blog on Flickr at: http://www.flickr.com/photos/alangauldphotos _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
