[Eric] new user asks about completing numpy in editor

[detlev]

Hi,

QScintilla uses so called API files that describe the API of a software 
package like Python or numpy. Without them, there is no autocompletion or 
calltips available for that package.

I have an old script around, that may be used to generate such an API file for 
numpy. If anybody wants to hack it, please leave me a note.

Regards,
Detlev
