Autocompletion: system packages have precedence over buildout-configured ones?

Hello,

I've got an issue with pycharm.

I'm using its buildout support, which would work pretty fine if it weren't for a glitch: if a distribution exists both in the system path and in an egg installed with buildout, the former takes precedence even though the latter is really used in the project.

Try it yourself:

hg clone https://bitbucket.org/Alan/pycharm_buildout_completion

./run

alan@afra:~/temp$ hg clone https://bitbucket.org/Alan/pycharm_buildout_completion

destination directory: pycharm_buildout_completion

Installing ep.

there're two scripts that get generated, main and python . The path for the twisted egg is correct, comes before the system-wide package in sys.path and it gets used when the script is invoked:

alan@afra:~/temp/pycharm_buildout_completion$ bin/python

>>> import twisted

>>> twisted

<module 'twisted' from '/home/alan/temp/pycharm_buildout_completion/eggs/Twisted-10.2.0-py2.6.egg/twisted/__init__.pyc'>

On the contrary, If I try to use the autocompletion, pycharm seems to give precedence to the system-installed twisted package:

This happens on Ubuntu Maverick 64 bit with PyCharm 1.1.1

If you think this is a bug I could open a ticket.
