Emacs Python completion

The purpose of this package is to support Python code completion and to make easier to use Python documentation using Emacs.

There are available following features:

code completion hitting <TAB> (or <C-M-i>) key:

e.g.:

time.cl<TAB> -> time.clock

time.<TAB> -> list of possible choices

description of the element (function/module/class/keyword) at the point hitting <F1> key

hitting '(' and ',' shows funtion signature

e.g.:

time.strftime( -> strftime(format[, tuple]) -> string

<F2> getting signature of a given function name
<F3> getting description of a given element name
