String generated by file.readline() gives list options when using tab-complete

jessimekirk commented 9 years ago

Description

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Open new file in Spyder.
2. Write a line to open a text file: my_file = open("path/text.txt", "r")
3. Read first line of file with: first_line = my_file.readline()
4. Search through string methods by: first_line. hit tab button here
What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

A drop-down menu should appear including options such as: capitalize center count decode ...

Instead the menu shows: append count extend index ...

Please provide any additional information below Basically, the menu would make it appear as if the variable "first_line" is a list instead of a string. Here are a few things that I've tried so far:
1. I've tested this on three computers; all show the same result.
2. Other strings will still tab complete to their methods properly in the same script.
3. If I run the exact same lines in the IPython console, the tab completes properly.
4. Executing a string method on "first_line" (i.e. print first_line.capitalize) from the file runs without producing any errors.
5. I updated everthing via "conda update conda" and "conda update anaconda".
6. The image I've attached shows the menu when produced from a file, and when produced from the IPython console (top and bottom respectively).

@blink1073, could you take a look at this one?

blink1073 commented 9 years ago

This looks like a case where Rope is wrong but doesn't know it. I don't know that we can prevent that from happening.

Apart from giving priority to jedi, which brings other inconsistencies ?

blink1073 commented 9 years ago

Right, we just need an AI on top of both, no problem...

goanpeca commented 9 years ago

so, wont'fix then?

Nodd commented 9 years ago

I guess we could report the bug to rope ?

blink1073 commented 9 years ago

Or maybe we should defer to jedi on completions and rope for docs?
