Create API files for autocompletion

Hello,
I see that it is possible to create API files for one's
project to use
with the eric autocompletion. Is there an easy way to do
this for a
distributed package (for example matplotlib)?
Thanks,
Glenn

Just use the eric4-api script.

Thank you, that helps. However, I am running into a problem
trying to
generate an API file for numpy. the numpy/__init__.py file
brings
functions from numpy.core.*, numpy.lib.*, etc into the
numpy
namespace, so that they can be accessed just as
numpy.function.
However, the API file does not recognize this. Is there any
way to get
the API autocompletion to work anywhere close to as well as
the
ipython autocompletion?
Thanks,
Glenn

IPython autocompletion is dynamic using some runtime
information (as far as I 
know). eric4's autocompletion (which is based on
QScintilla2) is static and 
works with API files. The script eric4-api parses Python
modules and extracts 
information needed to generate these API files.

However, latest snapshot together with latest snapshot of
rope plugin provide 
alternative autocompletion support using rope's
functionality. That might 
give you autocompletion that way you would like. Please give
it a try.

Detlev
