Vim intelligent python completion

tadeas · 12-27-2011, 04:02 PM

Hello,
I'm struggling to get pythoncomplete to work. I have this in .vimrc:

Code:

autocmd FileType python set omnifunc=pythoncomplete#Complete

CTags is loaded and functional (CList works fine, so does jumping to function declaration with C+] )
However C-X, C-O prints "Omni completion (^O^N^P) Pattern not found". C-N and C-P suggest words by fulltext - most recent first.
I've tried to put pythoncomplete ( http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=1542 ) to .vim/autoload/ and it didn't help.

Can it do anything more intelligent than suggest most recent words by fulltext?

I swear by neocomplcache:

Thank you for the suggestion. What benefits does neocomplcache bring over the defalt (fulltext) code completion? In Python?
Can you show me your configuration please?

My .vimrc file is here:

Neocomplcache works more like a normal IDE; it gives you the autocompletion menu as you type.

Thank you very much. It looks like you don't have any special neocomplcache settings.

Does it suggest words by some sort of analysis of the code or just fulltext? Vim does pretty good job at autocompletion itself, but it only suggests words by fulltext. I'm looking for something that will be more "intelligent". E.g. I have class "A" with methods "abc" and "def". I create variable "a", an instance of "A". When I type "a.", I want it to suggest "abc(" and "def(".

Why are you wasting your time asking this when all you need to do is try it out?

I did try it. It doesn't do what I'm looking for. But there might be some misconfiguration, wrong versions or whatever. So I ask how does it work for you (or anyone else).
