[Eric] python autocompletion in the console

[Jake B]

Hi,
I'm also having some trouble using python autocompletion in the
console. The Eric IDE front page states that Eric supports an
"Interactive Python shell including syntax hilighting and
autocompletion."
Here's what I have:

Python 2.5.1 (r251:54863, Apr 18 2007, 08:51:08) [MSC v.1310 32 bit
(Intel)] on beardj, Standard
>>> x=1
>>> x
1
>>> x.

At that point, I do control+space, and I would expect to see a list of
all the methods that are defined for type int (such as __add__, etc.),
but nothing comes up. Also all the entries in the submenu Edit -->
Autocomplete are grayed out.

The same thing applies with autocompletion of modules. For example:
>>> sys.

I would expect to autocomplete, as it does when I edit a document. But
nothing comes up, and the Autocompletion submenu is still grayed out.

I'd greatly appreciate it if someone could let me know what type of
console autocompletion eric4 supports, or what I might be doing wrong.
Much thanks.

Jake
