Yes, I admit I did not look careful enough. Apologies.

On the other hand, I had to fix gen_pyqt_api.py (patch attached).
Also, gen_python_api.py chokes on my Python setup (probably because of a
module that imports itself).  What to do? Disable the offending module
or sent it to fix gen_python_api.py (if you want, you will get all my
offending modules if I find more). 

Idle's interpreter-based approach of handling tooltips has less problems
with 'unconventional' modules and does not require regeneration of API file
after (des)installation of Python modules.

It is up to you and Phil to decide if it is worth the trouble to change
the QScintilla/Eric approach (yes, this is a feature request).


A few details with respect to the user interface of the API dialog:
(1) Why isn't it possible to select all *.api files in a directory at once?
(2) Why do I need to press on Add after having pressed on Open previously (to
    me this is superfluous and therefore annoying)?
(3) If you want to leave (2) as it is, why is the Add button not next to
    the ... button (clumsy me is being forced to make looong mouse movements
    and has a tendency to click OK instead of Add)?
