Bug Description

The new functionality was included in pycomplete I submitted to display the signature and help. The help doesn't work correctly after typing a "(". This may have to do with conflicts with the electric function mapped to show the signature after typing a "(". Running the help function should work being on the right side of a parenthesis after typing it for example:

numpy.arange(

Right now functionality seems to only work correctly when run help and before the parenthesis. So for example:

numpy.arange.

These two functions should be implemented in pycomplete.

Hi Jeff,

yes, that's the kind of stuff we should care for.

However, fixing this presently several obstacles are around.

Pymacs integration isn't stable at the moment.
We have no active XEmacs developer - OTOH running an XEmacs, I can assist.

What about starting an experimental branch - just for testing your scenario?
That would assert we are talking about the same code resp. environment.
