#54645 — python IDE and function definition

Subject	python IDE and function definition

Hi all,

I'm looking for a python IDE (for Linux) that can look at code like this:

class ConductorManager(manager.Manager):
     def compute_recover(self, context, instance):
         self.compute_api.stop(context, instance, do_cast=False)

where I could highlight the "stop" and ask it to go to the definition. 
(Where the definition is in a different file.)

I'm running into issues where my current IDE (I'm playing with Komodo) 
can't seem to locate the definition, I suspect because it's too ambiguous.

The fact that python is dynamically typed seems to mean that there could 
potentially be multiple answers, any class with a stop() method with the 
right signature could presumably be plausible, right?  So rather than 
give up, I'd like to have my IDE suggest all possible answers.

Chris

     Some IDEs allow you to help them understand the context by adding 
type information. Here's some documentation for Wing IDE that uses an 
isinstance assertion:

Just to note, PyDev can also use the assert isinstance as well as
docstrings (http://pydev.org/manual_adv_type_hints.html) for type hinting.

Cheers,
