Jedi AutoComplete on Editor/ Hinterland Recommendation

[Rud854]

Good morning, I noticed that the Jedi autocomplete works great on the IPython Console if I press tab. However, is there a way to enable this feature

on the Editor itself. I can't call pandas data columns in the editor where I do most of my work.

• I dont have my VPN on
• I have rope already installed

I also have a recommendation for a smarter code completion if its repurposed from Jupyter Notebook to Spyder. I'm not sure how to do it but Hinterland has a really nice autocompletion tool that's automatic. It's even better than VS Code's Pylance in automatically calling pandas data columns.

this is really good but its only on Jupyter sadly.

This was the video I used to install and enable Hinterland.

Hey @Rud854, thanks for reporting. You said:

That's a limitation of the libraries we use for code completion in the editor and there's no way to improve it at the moment. If you're interested in helping us to fix that in the future, please donate to this project:

When implemented, it'll connect the Editor to the IPython console, so you'll get the exact same code completions on it.

Thanks for the suggestion but I took a look at it and unfortunately it only works in the notebook.
