Generate function and signature in other class Follow
tldr: How do I get PyCharm to help add a function (in class X) by trying to use that function (in Class Y)?
IntelliJ Idea has a great feature that allows you to use a class and generate a function (with the appropriate signature) in that other class. I use this all the time when writing Java code. I write the test as if the class exists and what I will pass it and get back, and then Idea will stub out the functions. I can't figure out how to do the same Pycharm. Is it possible?
Imagine I have a class Car and a CarDriver class, and I want to call drive() on the car. It looks like this:
public static void main(String[] args) {
Car c = new Car();
CarDriver d = new CarDriver();
double x = c.drive(d);
}
but drive() doesn't exist. Idea let's me mouse over drive(d) and the hint will have 'Create method drive in Car'. If I click on it, it produces (in Car):
public double drive(CarDriver d) {
}
which is very useful. It's frustrating I can't do that in PyCharm.

There is a similar feature in PyCharm.
In the example below, PyCharm should highlight the foo method as unresolved
Clicking on that method, hitting Alt+Enter and choosing Add method... should do the trick:
