Eclipse does not autocomplete function arguments for PyQt4

Question

Eclipse will not autocomplete the function parameters in the PyDev perspective for PyQt4. All other aspects of the auto complete are working.

I am able to type x = QDia and Eclipse lists of all classes/variables starting with QDia. However, I am in dire need for all having Eclipse show all of the constructors and function arguments.

I should mention that this feature does work for other Python modules. Something is different with PyQt4 and I can't figure it out.

System Details: RHEL5/RHEL6, Eclipse 4.3.1 (Kepler), PyDev 3.3 (I think), Qt 4.6

Answer 1

Unfortunately the way that PyQt is wrapped doesn't expose that information (PyDev mostly imports the module in a shell, does a dir() and interprets the docstring to get information to show on to the user, but PyQt4 doesn't have that info -- and I'm not sure there's any automated way to get it).

So, usually when coding on qt I use the Qt Assistant a lot to get that kind of info... (or sometimes browse it on the web)
