Hi thre
Just wondered how to enable autocompletion for the C4D libs in Eclipse or Notepad++. Does anyone know how to do this?
Best,
michael

Well, In the options, I guess? Notepad++ does not have something like IntelliSense (Visual Studio). Pressing Ctrl+Enter will pop out a little window with possible matches for the word you're writing at the moment, but not from the current context, but all words in the current file.
If you mean auto-completion like Visual Studio (which is also available in Eclipse) for Py4D: there is yet no possibility to get auto-completion for the C4D API.

Actually, there is a way to get autocomplete for C4D in eclipse. This guide will show you how to set up eclipse for use with Cinema 4D http://www.smart-page.net/blog/2011/05/09/advanced-python-plugin-coding-for-cinema-4d/
it can be a little touchy at times, but it works. There are no images in the guide above, read it carefully. if you have trouble hit me up and i can help you out.

Hi Charles
Thanks for the link!
I already know that one and have actually used it to setup my kit (and I followed it to the letter). My impression is that I only get global constants and such but not the command / function hierarchy. Also, it does not seem to work at all times, e.g. for simple scripts it does not work at all, for intantiated objects it does partially.
The guide mentioned does not cover autocomplete in general, just some constants (i mean the file that resides in "site-packages" and is generated by the script offered).
It's quite tedious to code this way - i just wondered whether you guys have solved this already 
Cheers,
Michael

Ah I didn't know there's a fake-module, but it only contains the constants, so it's not really useful.. ^^
If you want to contribute to the Py4D Community, you could write a complete one.

Hi Nik
Well actually I think I will
Hopefully with a little help from Maxon...
What is used more by you guys - Eclipse or Notepad++ (or something else)?
Cheers,
Michael

i use ecplise for this. its the only editor ive used that seems to not 100% completely destroy white space when i need to copy/paste something back into the c4d script manager. Im sure there are others that dont, but after setting it up for the use of the c4d constant, ive just always used it. id use whatever had a full module though hahaha

Doing this is a very huge task. If I had the time, or someone that at least gives me a little fee for it, I'd do it..
However, I know enough about the Py4D API that I don't actually need intelligent code-completion.
I'm using Notepad++. However, I'm not quite if Notepad++ actually has support for intelligent code-completion, and if it has, it does not support by loading a Python-module..
@charlesrowland : That's maybe because Eclipse uses spaces natively, and any other editor you tried did use tabs? Cinema 4D's script-manager uses spaces natively..

Hi guys
I use Eclipse too and will probably go with that first. Of course, I would use a flexible format to parse it into other schemes for other apps.
@Nik: Yes; i assume this will be a daunting task. I'll do some research and see what a feasible approach would be. As I dont see anybody paying me for this - I'll have to do it in my spare time
Notepad++ has code completion (you have to turn it on specifically) and an XML Schema that allows even for "tooltips" and hints on function parameters.
Check out the files in the folder "...\Program Files (x86)\Notepad++\plugins\APIs" and you will see what's possible. I recommend looking at the "php.xml" file
Cheers,
Michael
