[Eric] Can't find definition using Rope

[Detlev Offenbach]

Hi,

the API files are not related to rope. They are used by the built-in 
autocompleter and calltips provider.

The rope function you called will show the definition of a method, if that is 
in the sources of your project.

Regards,
Detlev
