Auto-complete and type checking with another target platform

Answered

We have encountered the situation where we are doing development in PyCharm on our laptops but running / debugging on a remote system with a different OS/arch. PyCharm provides a great solution for remote debugging -- that we know. However, some Python libraries require certain environments, HW, OSes, and architectures, to be installed. How can we still get autocomplete and static type checking features of PyCharm without being able to install these packages directly into the virtualenv (e.g., using pip) being used by the project on our development laptops?

SSH interpreter downloads skeletons for remote libraries to allow for autocompletion, and as far as I know, it's independent of the OS/Hardware. Have you tried this type of interpreter?

Thank you! I haven't given this a go. This is very helpful, I really appreciate it!
