[request] VS2010+PythonTools behavior

[Tcll]

hopefully this has been planned already, PythonTools has THE BEST intellisense notifications of ANY IDE I've used (including Eclipse+PyDev)

what I explain is python 2.7 only, but it should be applied to all supported languages. ;)

expected behaviors:

variables:

• hover over a variable for 2 seconds to display a tooltip listing the types/objects the variable can hold

functions:

• hover over a function for 2 seconds to display a tooltip showing the function func.__doc__ along with the return types/objects
• hover over a function ')' for 2 seconds, or on call reference '(', to display a tooltip showing the function arguments with supplied types/objects

classes:

• same expected behavior as functions
• hover over an instance reference for 2 seconds to display a tooltop showing "%s Object"%__class__.__name__
• on the dot operator, list ALL of the class variables (including hidden/private variables)

EVERY python IDE I've used has failed to provide that much information, including Eclipse+PyDev, which comes the closest.

please try out Visual Studio with PythonTools to get a better understanding of what's expected. :)

This is easily solved: Sublime Text does not have an API for mouse movements or hovering.
