How to find out why auto-complete doesn't work in some cases?

Hello Sorin,

Unfortunately the only way at the moment to diagnose why autocompletion doesn't

work is to step through PyCharm code in the debugger, which is something

that only JetBrains developers can do.

You're welcome to submit a YouTrack issue with the details, and we'll investigate

the problem.

I would like to find out why autocomplete stop working in some cases.

I encounter this issue on both 1.5 and 2.0 EAP.

By example: when writing something like AAA.BBB.method the methods

from BBB are not displayed.

AAA is a package and also a variable name (an instance of AAA class

from AAA package).

BBB is a module imported inside AAA.

I am fully aware that a variable should not be named after module name

but this is not my code and I would like to know of this is the real

cause for the issues I encounter and if there are alternatives. The

bad part is that PyDev seems to have no problems with this and most of

the team is using PyDev.

import AAA
> 
> AAA = AAA.getNew()
> 
> AAA.BBB.method() # autocomplete works for BBB but not for method()
> """
> # Inside AAA.py:
> from BBB import BBB
> """
>
