    <p>Does anyone know how pydev determines what to use for code completion? I'm trying to define a set of classes specifically to enable code completion. I've tried using <code>__new__</code> to set <code>__dict__</code> and also <code>__slots__</code>, but neither seems to get listed in pydev autocomplete. </p> <p>I've got a set of enums I want to list in autocomplete, but I'd like to set them in a generator, not hardcode them all for each class.</p> <p>So rather than</p> <pre><code>class TypeA(object): ValOk = 1 ValSomethingSpecificToThisClassWentWrong = 4 def __call__(self): return 42 </code></pre> <p>I'd like do something like</p> <pre><code>def TYPE_GEN(name, val, enums={}): def call(self): return val dct = {} dct["__call__"] = call dct['__slots__'] = enums.keys() for k, v in enums.items(): dct[k] = v return type(name, (), dct) TypeA = TYPE_GEN("TypeA",42,{"ValOk":1,"ValSomethingSpecificToThisClassWentWrong":4}) </code></pre> <p>What can I do to help the processing out?</p> <p><strong>edit:</strong> The comments seem to be about questioning what I am doing. Again, a big part of what I'm after is code completion. I'm using python binding to a protocol to talk to various microcontrollers. Each parameter I can change (there are hundreds) has a name conceptually, but over the protocol I need to use its ID, which is effectively random. Many of the parameters accept values that are conceptually named, but are again represented by integers. Thus the enum. </p> <p>I'm trying to autogenerate a python module for the library, so the group can specify what they want to change using the names instead of the error prone numbers. The <code>__call__</code> property will return the id of the parameter, the enums are the allowable values for the parameter. </p> <p>Yes, I can generate the verbose version of each class. One line for each type seemed clearer to me, since the point is autocomplete, not viewing these classes.</p>

    1. COYou should not need to generate classes on the fly for this. Also, generating classes on the fly is probably not going to be compatible with autocompletion.

    2. COMay I ask why you don't want to hard code the names? What benefit are you hoping to get by generating the enum values from a `dict` of strings?

    3. COI don't know how smart pydev is, but you could try defining your enums via a metaclass.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
