spyder3: missing python3-rope for autocompletion and object inspector

[Martin Lutz]

In a default ubuntu installation of spyder3, the autocompletion and ctrl+I do not work. The problem can be fixed by installing the package rope_py3k. It would be great to have this in the default installation.

The source package rope should also build a python3-rope package. There is a Debian bug report for it: https://bugs.debian.org/755911

[Ghislain Vaillant (ghisvail)]

Autocompletion support is fixed in the latest version of the package (spyder/3.1.3+dfsg1-2) available in Debian experimental. You may want to migrate that one to Zesty.
