code completion often not working (intellisense)

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago

What steps will reproduce the problem?

Type in the following code:
s = "some string"
for c in s:
    c.

OR:

import urllib
s= 'http://www.pythonchallenge.com/pc/def/linkedlist.php?nothing='
h = urllib.urlopen(s+'12345')

t = h.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I expect to see a code completion list for c. (showing string functions)

Similar problem in the second scenario with "h."

NOTE:  this behaviour works in the "python interpreter" 

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
1.9.9.7 on windows xp

Code completion in the editor is based on scanning the source code and will 
never be perfect.  In the first case PyScripter wouldn't know the type of the 
variable an enumerable returns (for c in someobject) unless one hardcodes 
certain special cases and in the second Pyscripter cannot guess the result type 
of urlopen.
