Myself and a few other python developers have been hoping to find a way to get python autocomplete working for quite some time. Mostapha first came up with a solution but I was not able to get his solution to work, and as he noted himself, it was “a hack and is not meant to be used by so many people”. His contribution made me realize there were others interested in getting ironpython-autocomplete to work, and this step forward motivated me to keep looking.
After trying a few other approaches , including modifying the Rhino-Python package for Atom editor, I ran into this project, started by Gary Edwards (Thanks for sharing Ehsan !)
The project used Generator3.py, a tool developed by the PyCharm community to make python autocomplete work for IronPython within PyCharm. The library works by inspecting the DLLs using IronPython, and creating stub packages that reflect the same structure. Those stubs can then be accessed by CPython + Jedi to generate the autocomplete…
