Autocomplete showing global namespace (including yet not allocated variables).

[mluerig]

(I am not sure how to make a reproducible example for this case, my apologies).

Problem Description

Code completion (after the dot) shows all classes and methods in the namespace, even if they have not been allocated yet. e.g.

What steps reproduce the problem?

I invoke a class from a module that I have installed with pip development mode.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

Autocomplete only the parameters that have been allocated / called.

@mluerig could you add a screenshot of what you mean? Thanks!

[mluerig]

e.g. create_templateis a method - fine. but colour_maskis an array that has not yet been created, but can be created with create_template. shouldn't be visible

@mluerig, thanks for reporting. Please post a code sample that generates this error so we can take a look at it in our side.

[mluerig]

in retrospect, I'm not sure if this is error or expected behavior. anyways, assume following module:

testmod\
    __init__.py
    base.py

base.py contains

class testClass:
    def __init__(self, arg1):
        self.arg1 = arg1

    def method1(self, mod):
        self.result = self.arg1 * mod

Now, when I do

import testmod
tm = testmod.base.testClass(arg1=50)
tm.

tm. already shows result, although it has not yet been "created" through method1. would it make sense to be able to hide this?

In general, during development, I am assuming that my users will use spyder. Being able to see or control what is visible in autocomplete would be nice.

@mluerig, thanks! Could you upload the contents of testmod in a zip file so we don't have to recreate ourselves?
