Autocomplete while editing python scripts outside of Rhino

It seems similar to denfromufa/ironpython-stubs , have you tried it?

To be fair, that is a fork of Gui’s work at GitHub - gtalarico/ironpython-stubs: Autocomplete stubs for common IronPython/.NET libraries

I have looked at those packages and they are very nice. The issue with them is that they are mock libraries so it is very hard to actually run a python script for Rhino with those libraries on your python search path. The stub files that I created follow the guidelines of some recent python PEPs so hopefully support will show up in other editors over time as this is a standard.

A big advantage of using these stub files is that you can use them in combination with the new rhinosinside package discussed here:

Rhino inside Python

Here’s a new toy for the python crowd. You’ll need to have the Rhino 7 WIP installed on Windows. This allows you to embed and get access to RhinoCommon from inside of CPython. You must be running a 64-bit version of Python You can use either Python 2.7 or Python 3.7 import rhinoinside rhinoinside.load() import System import Rhino # for now, you need to explicitly use floating point # numbers in Point3d constructor pts = System.Collections.Generic.List[Rhino.Geometry.Point3d]() pts.Add(Rh…

I am hoping to write another article about this use case soon.
