Add signature and type to completion display #473

Open jorgenschaefer opened 9 years ago

PyCharm displays some extra information in the completion popup. Would be nice if Elpy did so, too:

PyCharm

So something like [m|f|v] <name>(args, ...) Class

PyCharm seems to display the return value. Pity we do not have that in Jedi or Rope.

Hm, shouldn't Jedi be able to give us the return value (when it can know it)? It needs that for completion anyway.

(BTW, "f" is confusing. I guess it means "field", but that's not a term used in Python. "a" for attribute would be better.)

jorgenschaefer commented 9 years ago

I was thinking of "function" as opposed to "method" (that's how PyCharm uses it), but it was just an example. Would need to check what Jedi has easily available.

And no, I have not seen an interface to get the return value from Jedi. Happy to be told I'm wrong, though!
