Description: pydiction is a special dictionary file of Python modules for use with vim's completion feature.
Pydiction.py is a program that generates the pydiction file and you can use it to add your
project's own modules to it.
When you supply a module name to pydiction.py it will generate the modules contents in 2 forms.
The first form will be a list of the modules contents with the module name prefixed such as:
module.function1(
module.function1(
module.nonfunction1
module.nonfunction2
...
The first format is useful when you "import module" and are required to type the module prefix.
The second form will be a list of just the module's method names without the module prefix:
function1(
function2(
nonfunction1
nonfunction2
...
The second form is useful when you "from module import functions".
"pydiction.py" Usage:
pydiction.py module1 module2..
Example: The following will append all the time and math module's attributes to the file "pydiction" with
and without the "time." and "math." prefixes:
pydiction.py time math
If you supply the -v option to pydiction.py it will dump the output to your screen instead of appending it
to the pydiction file:
pydiction.py -v time math
"pydiction dictionary file" Usage:
Put the following lines in your vimrc file:
if has("autocmd")
autocmd FileType python set complete+=k/path/to/pydiction iskeyword+=.,(
endif " has("autocmd")
Now you can simply hit Control-n (n=next) or Control-p (p=previous) to complete Python code.
(type ":help completion" in vim for more details)
Example:
Typing the following (in insert mode):
os.lis<Ctrl-n>
will expand to:
os.listdir(
You can also leave out the module.
Example:
lis<Ctrl-n>
will expand to:
listdir(
More examples:
la<Ctrl-n> = lambda
wx<Ctrl-n> = wxPython
twisted.pr<Ctrl-n> = twisted.protocols (Keep hitting Ctrl-n to see twisted.protocols.*)
__b<Ctrl-n> = __builtin__ (Ctrl-n again = __builtins__)
sys.getr<Ctrl-n> = sys.getrecursionlimit(
sy<Ctrl-n> = sys.getrecursionlimit( (Vim remembers you've just used it)
If there are multiple entries for an abbreviation, you'll be givin a list of names to choose from.
