How To Get Real-time Intellisense Code Completion in Python Console (Django Console) [picture]

Answered

Is there a reliable way to get real-time code auto-complete while inside the "Python Console"?

In below image, you will notice:

  1. In Python IDLE, when I open the parentheses, it shows the function parameters. This is extremely helpful and highly desirable. Can I configure PyCharm console to behave exactly as you see Python IDLE behaving below?
  2. I am using Pycharm's keyboard shortcut to inspect the function parameters (evident by the "Parameter Info" message popping up), but nothing happens. I want to be able to see the available function parameter options.

Hi,

Unfortunately, that's a known issue https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/PY-36610, please vote for that ticket to help us prioritize and feel free to comment.

Thank you for informing me Sergey. That is extremely unfortunate news. I voted. I hope the JetBrains team prioritizes this bug fix soon! It's MAJOR for people like me that use the console. I see the priority on that ticket is "Major" but who knows what that actually means in-terms of when this will be fixed.
